The Ministry of the Attorney General also handed out multiculturalism and inclusivity grants to groups operating in New Westminster and Burnaby.

A Port Moody-based group that teaches students and the public about the illicit drug crisis has won a government grant to continue with its outreach.

The $5,000 grant will be put toward the society’s NaloxHome Education Project that offers a health authority-consulted curriculum about the toxic drug epidemic, as well as naloxone training to B.C. high school students. It is led by youth volunteers who build awareness about drug abuse. Started in 2021 by Port Moody resident Chloe Goodison, NaloxHome now has more than 60 assistants to build awareness about the sensitive topic.

NaloxHome will host its inaugural annual general meeting on Saturday, April 27 at Coquitlam City Hall at 1 p.m. Light refreshments will be served. To save a spot, email info@naloxhome.com by April 6.
