Researchers from KPU and the Surrey Union of Drug Users working together to highlight Surrey’s toxic drug supply crisis
Researchers from a local university are conducting a community-led research project to map the drug crisis in Surrey.
Gina Egilson, a board member at SUDU, said,"Surrey's losing more and more people to toxic drug overdoses, with at least four to five people dying every week." “For too many years there hasn't been enough focus on the escalating drug crisis in Surrey,” Ma said. “So we want to try to build more capacity and support in Surrey through resources, funding and infrastructure.”
