Join us for the kick off of a week long series of events, learnings and activities to honour and acknowledge 10 years since the declaration of the Toxic Drug Emergency in British Columbia. We are more than excited to welcome a dedicated and impassioned speaker to the Sunshine Coast 

"Greg Hemminger is a phenomenal individual whose impact on the substance use care system can be felt across the province. Greg is seven years removed from an opioid addiction and has dedicated immense time and effort to serving and improving the system that saved his life”. 

Not only does Greg work full time as the Lower Mainland’s regional coordinator for the Tailgate Toolkit Program, an innovative project that aims to provide harm reduction resources and education for people in trades, but he sits on advisory committees with multiple organizations and travels around the province as a public speaker and educator.” 

"Greg’s passion for not only improving the system, but consistently speaking to the patient experience in care through a positive lens brings much needed strength and levity to an otherwise incredibly challenging space to work in"
