In 2020, 95 young people <25 years old died from accidental opioid poisoning in Alberta. So far in 2021, 29 deaths were reported in Q1 alone. If this trend continues, the number of young people lost to the opioid crisis this year will be the most devastating on record. #ableg

We all have a role to play. We must act now to change the trajectory of this crisis for young people. #ableg #abhealth

“The grim reality is that our young people are dying in even greater numbers today than when we brought this issue into focus nearly three years ago.” #yeg https://t.co/4SrEByRxYA

“It is crucial that the cumulative impacts of colonialism, intergenerational trauma, and the opioid crisis be recognized.” 2021 could prove deadliest year for youth opioid poisoning, says advocate https://t.co/dRI919efrp

“When you talk about harm reduction for young people, there’s a sense of, ‘Oh, we shouldn’t be doing that. They’re just kids.’ But if we don’t meet them where they’re at and stop them from dying, we can’t get to the intervention and the post-treatment." https://t.co/Jxr3SScnJb

Alberta is on pace to set a new record for deadly opioid poisonings in Albertans under the age of 25.

And we are sending out kids back to school...this doesn’t add up.

Alberta Health has released five days worth of data, which shows the province recorded 5,107 new cases of COVID-19 and 96 deaths from the disease over the past five days. One of the deaths was a health-care worker.

@AdrianaLaGrange Given the number of cases (and deaths) we are currently seeing, this makes absolutely no sense.
