Last years was the deadliest year on record in British Columbia’s overdose crisis. Delta is
not immune to this problem. In 2021, the City of Delta, Delta Police Department,
Tsawwassen First Nation, Delta School District, Fraser Health Authority, and Delta Fire
Department came together and initiated a community public awareness campaign –
End the Stigma campaign.

Delta residents are encouraged to share their stories on City’s platform –End the Stigma and Share Your Story to raise awareness about the stigma and help others to know they are not alone. See stories that recently were featured in media below.
