Mayor Bill Gordon has proclaimed August 31, 2026, as “International Overdose Awareness Day” in the Town of Midland, and today the Town raised the flag for International Overdose Awareness Day at Town Hall.

The goal of International Overdose Awareness Day is to build a safe environment for conversations surrounding drug overdose, amplify the access to information on the range of support services that are available and prevent and reduce drug-related harm by supporting evidence-based policy and practice.

TODAY! The CMHA- Simcoe County, Simcoe Muskoka District Health Unit, Gilbert Centre and Midland Public Library have coordinated on behalf of the North Simcoe Drug Strategy Group to create an event where our community can join together to remember those we’ve lost, reflect on the ongoing drug toxicity crisis, and strengthen our collective call for justice, compassion, and change.

This event will feature:
A peer-led, interactive memorial project
