TBDHU have been advised by Norwest CHC (via the Lifeguard App) that multiple people have been admitted to hospital due to the presence of rat poison in turquoise fentanyl being sold in the region.
- If you use drugs, start with a smaller amount (start low, go slow).
- Don’t use drugs alone; use with someone you trust, visit Path 525 @ NorWest CHC or download the Lifeguard Digital Health App.
- Pick up a FREE naloxone kit from Superior Points or a pharmacy.
- Call 911 if your high feels unusual, or if you suspect someone is overdosing. The Good Samaritan Drug Overdose Act provides legal protection from drug-related charges for carrying drugs for personal use and other simple possession offences.
- If you are experiencing a crisis: Crisis Response @ 807-346-8282 or NAN HOPE @ 1-844-626-4673.
