The BC/Yukon Association of Drug War Survivors (BCYADWS) is hosting a “caravan” across BC to:

promote the BCYADWS
connect with communities in BC,
sign up members
collect information about the health needs of drug users across the province and
to develop action strategies with communities to advocate for these established health needs
