THUNDER BAY — An alert has been issued to the community about contaminated drugs after several overdoses occurred at a local overdose prevention service.
The other two overdoses involved a powdery substance that was yellow and another powder that was pink/red in colour, a form commonly known as "down." She said having three cases in one day pointed to a situation that needed to be brought to the attention of others who might be using the same drug supply.
"We always encourage folks if they aren't able to access the safe consumption site to not use alone. They should definitely be using the Lifeguard app. It has saved many lives," Bauer said. "It also has a lot of supports on there for services to access within Northwestern Ontario." This is also being used to create short informational videos for its social media page to educate clients and other community members on what's showing up in the drug supply in the Thunder Bay area.
