Everyone was just joyed, that was the atmosphere at #RecoveryDay 2023 in the City of New Westminster.
Thank you to everyone who attended, volunteered, sponsored, and performed. Glass Tiger put on an amazing show, and Chief Larabee welcomed us to the Qayqayt First Nation.
Three Levels of Government and representatives from two provinces attended to engage in recovery. While attendees from everywhere came.
Thank you BC Minister of Mental Health and Addiction @JM_Whiteside for your support, MP @MPJulian Julian, Mayor of New Westminster @PJNewWest, Shadow Minister Mental Health and Addiction @elenoresturko, and Alberta Minister of Mental Health and Addiction Dan Williams.
Our hearts are broken, 2,000 names were added to the Overdose Memorial Tree that was on display at Recovery Day. It is important for government officials to meet and see the recovery community, so they can experience recovery.
Thank you sponsors Last Door Recovery Society, @New_Westminster, BC Government, @TheRecord, @CedarsCH, @jack969, @iRecoverTx, @EHNCanada, @TWCRecoveryLife, @MyUptown, @CATC_OATC, BC Addiction Recovery Association, @OrchardRecovery, The Healing Institute at Forbidden Plateau, @turningpointrs, One Life Recovery Society, New Roads Therapeutic Recovery Community @ @ourplacesociety
Especially a big thank you to the volunteers over the past 11 years that have gotten us to this place, hosting the world's largest mental health and addiction recovery event.

“Five B.C. cities will offer integrated employment and treatment services to those recovering from mental health and addiction issues”
The availability of training and employment services are such an important part of the recovery journey.

I'm proud to announce a government under my leadership would overhaul mental health service delivery & build a recovery-oriented system for those struggling with addiction.
The status quo is failing, but better is possible.

Mayor @KenSimCity, Minister @JM_Whiteside, and Premier @Dave_Eby you can fix this. Don't listen to Pivot or the BCCSU, they fooled your predecessors.

As British Columbia continues to host record number of overdose fatalities, Alberta marks a 47% decline in overdoses. Clearly the #AlbertaModel is working. @MikeEllisUCP report here > alberta.ca/release.cfm?xID=8…

Treatment & recovery beds are a vital part of BC’s response to the poisoned drug crisis. People now have more access to substance-use services as 105 newly funded beds are now fully operational. This in addition to 105 at Red Fish & 10 at Phoenix Society.

This National Addictions Awareness Week I’m thinking of devastating effect that addiction has on people, families & communities– but also how recent weather events can make this even more difficult. Support is available bcdisasterstress.ca #NAAW2021

New treatment beds in #Surrey along with @Fraserhealth’s new addictions medicine teams & virtual clinic are so critical.
Open immediately at @Phoenix_Society 10 new addiction-treatment beds for adults w/ severe substance use dependency and mild-moderate #mentalhealth challenges.
RecoveryDayBC retweeted
It's @RecoveryDayVan, a day to confirm that #RecoveryIsPossible. Every person’s recovery journey is different, and that’s why our gov is working to provide more options & supports. Today we’re sharing that 95 new publicly funded adult treatment beds are in place & helping people.
RecoveryDayBC retweeted
Today, I tabled a motion calling on the @HoCChamber to recognize the lack of access to effective addiction recovery treatment in Canada & demand the Liberal government develop a federal framework to address this crisis. #cdnpoli #recovery #addiction #hope
