City officially endorses Community Opioid Response Plan
The Community Opioid Response Plan has been officially endorsed by City Council.
The plan was developed through the collaboration of a list of different community stakeholders which include law enforcement, health care, and not-for-profit organizations.
Mayor Bill Given says the plan involves identifying where stakeholders can contribute to assisting the community with the opioid crisis.
“The Community Opioid Response Plan is really intended to be a document that is for different sectors of our community to consider what role they might play in addressing the opioid crisis that has been plaguing Alberta and Grande Prairie,” says Given. “The intent is not for the City of Grande Prairie to own the plan or be the entity that is in charge of doing all the actions in it, because certainly, it’s acknowledged that many of the actions are outside of the control of the City.”
