The Board of Directors of the Chatham-Kent Drug Awareness Council would like to invite you, as well as others you feel would benefit, to attend a memorial event on Friday, August 31st for International Overdose Awareness Day. The memorial event will be in memory of those who have lost their lives due to an overdose, in support of the countless families in mourning across Canada and around the world, and in solidarity and strength for those living with and recovering from an addiction. This memorial event will be held from 7:00pm to 8:30pm at Studio One in the Chatham Cultural Centre. There will be light refreshments and fellowship to follow the memorial.
