Powell River Overdose Prevention Site

?Trained staff and peers provide people who use illicit drugs with a safe space to be monitored while they use, to help prevent and recover from overdoses. VCH provides clinical support and harm reduction supplies, while PREP Community Programs (PREP), a local not-for-profit agency, staff the site. 

The service is also being funded by VCH as well as Powell River's Community Action Team (CAT) which includes members from 67 local organizations including municipal government, Tla'amin Nation, first responders, frontline community agencies, experts, residents and families with lived experience.
