Overdose deaths rise in the Okanagan
Description
January 25, 2024
It is a public health emergency with no end in sight. One day after BC's chief coroner announced that 2023 was the deadliest year yet for toxic drug overdoses, there are renewed calls for much more to be done to save the growing number of lives being lost in this province, including here in the Okanagan. Klaudia Van Emmerik reports.
