What is Naloxone
It's a medication that can reverse the effects of an overdose from opioids like heroin, morphine, fentanyl, carfentanil and codeine. Given as a nasal spray or an injection into a muscle, Naloxone is available without a prescription.
Naloxone Pilot Program
The City launched a Naloxone Pilot Program in 2020 to reduce the harm and deaths from opioid overdoses. The program provides public access to nasal naloxone kits that have been placed in select recreation facilities, youth centres and libraries. You can find them inside the automatic external defibrillator storage cases for use in emergencies.
