Activate BC: Small Business Support for Overdose Prevention
Activate BC created a centralized hub for business-specific resources related to the toxic drug crisis in BC. Our aim is that these resources will provide businesses with the tools they need to become active partners in our collective response to the toxic drug crisis. The resources include templates, posters and other easy-to-use materials along with access to relevant partners, support programs and information.
