Show Notes
British Columbia marks a grim milestone as it enters its eleventh year of a public health emergency over the deadly illicit drug supply. Despite a slight dip, the province continues to grapple with an average of four point eight drug-related deaths daily, with fentanyl remaining the primary culprit. The hardest hit areas are Fraser Health and Vancouver Coastal Health, while a recent surge in medetomidine-laced drugs has led to a record number of poisoning calls. The crisis also extends to the youth, with a significant increase in drug-related deaths among those under nineteen.
