Communities are grappling with homelessness and the impacts of an illegal and toxic drug supply, which converge most visibly in form of encampments appearing across BC and Canada.
Join us for an in-depth look into this reality through the examples of Victoria and Nanaimo on Vancouver Island, what success looks like and what communities can do to help bring lasting solutions within reach.
