The day also aims to raise awareness about the risks of drug overdose and reduce the stigma associated with drug-related deaths.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt is reported by Peterborough Public Health that, on average, a person dies from a drug poisoning every six days, and in the past 12 months, 72 people have died from drug poisonings. These numbers are a stark reminder of the ongoing opioid crisis impact on families, community, and the entire country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cRight now, people are dying waiting to access help. &nbsp;The federal government must step up and invest in timely access to addiction, treatment, and recovery programs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe most compassionate thing we can do as legislators is make sure all Canadians have a route out of the cycle of addiction and on the path to recovery. \u201c<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>-30-<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Media Contact:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Emily McCullough<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"mailto:emily.mccullough.484@parl.gc.ca\">emily.mccullough.484@parl.gc.ca<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>343-551-9252<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>August 31st, 2023 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Peterborough, ON\u2014 Michelle Ferreri, Member of Parliament for Peterborough\u2014Kawartha, [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":108,"featured_media":5993,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[1],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.1 -
