Imagine a community that promotes a safe and supportive environment to talk about addictions and recovery.
Recovery saves lives and builds communities. During the month of September, communities across Canada celebrate the hope and reality of recovery from addiction and shine a light on the many pathways to increased wellness.
About Recovery Day
Recovery Day is organized by a coalition of community organizations and led by the Drug Awareness Committee (DAC). Our goal is to build awareness, challenge stigma surrounding addiction and celebrate the role that recovery plays in every community member’s life.
Connect with DAC on Facebook or Instagram.
