'We lost a family member today': Our Place banner highlights grief from toxic drug crisis
It’s hard to even comprehend but Jennifer Staaf has lost 75 friends to toxic drugs in her lifetime. She tries to keep a running tally but it can be hard to keep up.
“There had been four deaths that week and our staff were reeling, I mean it hits hard, these are our family members and our neighbours and our colleagues,” said Our Place Board Chair Margo Goodhand. McKenzie says he also hopes it spurs more action including a clean supply to keep people alive while they wait for treatment.
