August 31, 2016. People recorded the names of loved ones who have died of overdoses as International Overdose Awareness day was marked at the steps of the Alberta Legislature this afternoon. About 100 people, including provincial and federal government officials, turned out to say that understanding and compassion were required and not judgment as people battled addictions.
