A walk will take place in Bancroft on Friday, to honour victims of drug-related deaths.
It’s called the Silent Walk. It starts at 1 p.m. from the Ontario Addiction Treatment Centre at 89 Hastings St. N.
The walk is put on by North Hastings Community Trust. In a social media post, the Trust says
it’s to “honour the lives lost to overdoses, suicides and the war on people who use drugs.”

It also says, “by walking together we challenge the stigma people face and make our community kinder.”
The event will have snacks and cold drinks for participants and naloxone kits will also be available.
