Nanaimo Community Action Team
Island Health
We are a community action team of stakeholders and those most severely impacted by the ongoing overdose public health crisis, declared by the BC Government since 2016. In the last ten years Nanaimo has over 274 confirmed deaths by lethal drug poisoning, 25 since the beginning of the 2021. The drug crisis has worsened since the public health Pandemic hit. In other words we are in a dual crisis. Help us save lives and harm caused by overdose.
