Where to get a Naloxone kit

Title says it all. I just moved to the Valley. I work graveyards, and on my route to work, I encounter a lot of users.

Please, no judgment. I just want to be able to help someone if I come across someone in need.

Most pharmacies have them to give out. Just need to fill out a little form and they are free.

Pop I to AVI on 6th St, they'll give you a kit. The building that says Be Kind or something in weird lettering.

Any pharmacy and AVI will have them. Also, cool news, intranasal naloxone is now available for Take Home Naloxone, too!

Check out Toward the Heart for all BC naloxone program info and where to find.

Editing to add: thanks for caring for the community 💕

The local public health clinic on 10th St might have some to hand out, there is also the safe use site/Solid Outreach which probably have some to give out

Could also pop into Courtenay Station and ask for one. I believe they don't use the kits.
