@ourplacesociety will establish the only long-term Women's Recovery Program on Vancouver Island, providing 20 beds in early fall 2024, tailored to meet the unique needs of women grappling with addiction. On International Women’s Day, thank you.

Thank you to the team from #YYJ TD Canada Trust who came to Our Place Society to Volunteer today & gave our community centre a “Deep Clean”. We are so grateful for their hard work and volunteer support today- they were exceptional and shared a team donation of $1,000.00!

Overdose Alert! Responding to several difficult overdoses today, many more experiencing severe psychosis, on Turquoise Down. Had @SubstanceUVic test the drug & it contains: Carfentanyl, Benzos & Xylazine, an Animal Sedative that is “usually fatal in humans” #yyj Please take care

Shout out to all volunteers and all our leaders of volunteers! Volunteering is #EmpathyInAction and these relationships create caring and compassionate communities! #NVW2022 #yyj

We will be celebrating #NVW2022 with @VolunteerCanada April 24-30 because we know that #VolunteersBringHeart to Canada’s communities!

Tomorrow we end 2 Our Place Society fundraisers. Please donate to our Portraits of Caring campaign celebrating local young leaders & philanthropists. hibid.ca/events/portrai… Also, bring your empty bottles & cans down to a Bottle Depot #YYJ location bottledepot.ca
