For the second straight year, people will be gathering in Montreal for Recovery Day, a cross-country event that started in 2012.
This year’s event, taking place September 17, aims to start a conversation and end the stigma surrounding addiction recovery.
In cities across the country, recovering addicts will be standing up in unison to help drive progress in the community.
