REPOST from our friends at @archguelph Tuesday, Au

REPOST from our friends at @archguelph Tuesday, Aug 31, 2021 is International Overdose Awareness Day (IOAD). This year, the WGDS Harm Reduction Committee in partnership with ARCH, and supported by many other community partners, is taking the IODA slogan, “Time to Remember, Time to Act” to heart. Please put this date in your calendar and actively participate in IOAD.

In 2020, 2,600 people in Ontario lost their lives to drug poisoning as a result of current drug and health policies. IOAD gives a platform for our collective voices to be heard in our advocacy to change these policies so that no more lives are lost.

Here’s what you can do to support International Overdose Awareness Day in Guelph/Wellington:

• Donate to the “I Remember” Memorial that will be built in Guelph to honour community members who have lost their lives to drug poisoning. For more information, go to https://archguelph.ca/donate/i-remember/ . By purchasing an “I Remember” t-shirt or hat, you will directly be supporting the creation of the memorial. Link in bio.

• Show your concern and attend the IODA gathering to grieve for our family and community members who have lost their lives to drug poisoning on Aug 31, at noon at St. George’s Square. (All of the most recent Covid-19 safety protocols will be followed at this event). For more information, go to http://wgdrugstrategy.ca/get-the-latest/events/oad2021/event-oad-aug-31st-2021/

• Wear your “Support Not Stigma” or “I Remember” T-shirt or hat to the event.

• Share your creative expressions of grief and we will post your art, poems, songs or dances on WGDS and ARCH social media. Send your creativity to acrowder@guelphchc.ca

• Advocate for changes to health and social policy so that people who use substances receive the services and supports they need. For more information go to http://wgdrugstrategy.ca/get-informed/supportnotstigma/

Today we must take the opportunity to acknowledge

Today we must take the opportunity to acknowledge that Canada’s foundation was built on the genocide of Indigenous peoples and presently continues to play an active role in the erasure, marginalization and violence towards First Nations, Métis and Inuit peoples.

When we hear phrases like “this isn’t Canada” when acts of violence and oppression unfold, we must pause and remember that for many, the experience of Canada is not one of pride and celebration. Truth and reconciliation not only requires an acknowledgement of the true history of this country, but a commitment to accountability and action.

This process of social change requires all of us to acknowledge the privilege we all hold and being reflective of how colonization has benefited settlers. We need to shift the meaning of July 1st to be a day of reflection, remembrance and a commitment to change.

Find alternative and meaningful ways to spend today.

As #pride2021 draws to an end, we want to highligh

As #pride2021 draws to an end, we want to highlight some significant moments for 2SLGBTQ+ people across Turtle Island.

These victories have not been possible without the resilience and advocacy of queer, Trans and Two-Spirit peoples but also of allies who have and continue to show up to ensure equality and justice for all.

Pride is an opportunity to celebrate the unique, beautiful and resilient folks that make up the 2SLGBTQIA+ community but also for communities to come together to collectively create safer spaces for all. While there have been so many amazing milestones for the 2SLGBTQIA+ community, we must reflect on the fact that queer and trans and Two Spirit people have and continue to advocate for their existence and their rights everyday. Visibility and pride is a privilege that not everyone is fforded.

This work must continue by working together to build a world where everyone’s identities are not just recognized but validated and celebrated. To do so, we must actively work towards ending homophobia, transphobia and gender-based violence.

Having an emotional reaction from hearing about the atrocious history of Indian Residential Schools is completely justified and normal.

Here is part two of our Indigenous trailblazer series in celebration of #NationalIndigenousHistoryMonth ! Swipe to learn more about some significant Indigenous figures and how they have have shaped our cultural and political landscape.

While this is by no means an exhaustive list of all of the incredible Indigenous trailblazers out there, we encourage you to seek out opportunities and resources to learn more about Indigenous people who have and continue to advance gender equality, the arts, climate justice and land defence work, and much more.

National Indigenous People’s Day is recognized t

National Indigenous People’s Day is recognized today on June 21st coinciding with both summer solstice and National Indigenous History Month.

Today is an opportunity for us to recognize the heritage, culture, contributions and resiliency of Indigenous peoples and to celebrate the distinct and unique languages and traditions of First Nations, Métis and Inuit Peoples.

For many, the history of Indigenous Peoples and Canada was, until recently, unknown or unacknowledged. Generations of people have gone through their lives without knowing about residential schools, the historic and ongoing impacts of the Indian Act, the significance of treaties, or the contributions of Indigenous Peoples.

As we honour Indigenous People’s day, we are reminded of our collective responsibility to build a future where Indigenous Peoples, their cultures, languages and traditions are not just celebrated but also allowed to thrive and flourish for generations to come.

We encourage you all to take the time to engage with Indigenous cultural celebrations, be willing to learn, but also reflect on the role we can all play in ending systemic racism and colonial violence.

June is National Indigenous History Month and an opportunity to highlight the ways in which Indigenous peoples and communities from across Turtle Island (Canada) have shaped our cultural and political landscape.

Swipe through to learn more about significant firsts for Indigenous women and Two Spirit Peoples.

While this is by no means an exhaustive list of all of the incredible Indigenous trailblazers out there, we encourage you to seek out opportunities and resources to learn more about Indigenous people who have and continue to advance gender equality, the arts, climate justice and land defence work, and much more.

Stay tuned for part two of this series coming next week!
