BC overdose deaths drop in June, but more than 100 people still dying each month

The Canadian Press interviewed Ryan McNeil, a professor at UBC’s department of medicine and a research scientist with the BC Centre on Substance Use, about new statistics on overdose deaths in B.C.

“This is a crisis being driven by fentanyl and fentanyl-adulterated drugs and there’s an urgent need to ensure that people have access to a safer drug supply,” he said.

The CP story appeared in the Globe and Mail, The Province, Castanet, and on City Toronto.
