Blood Tribe members being warned about bad batch of drugs

BLOOD RESERVE, AB – A recent spike in overdoses has prompted a drug alert on the Blood Reserve.

Officials are warning that there’s a particularly poisonous batch of opioids making the rounds right now, and they’re asking tribe members to check on their vulnerable friends and family.

Naloxone kits are available at the Blood Tribe fire hall, the Standoff Safe House and pharmacies in the area.

Those who are witness to a potential overdose are urged to call 911 immediately since Naloxone isn’t effective for all drugs.

I started my radio career in 2015, shortly after graduating from Lethbridge College. I have a very strong passion for local news. Proudly born in 1994, I grew up most of my life in Sylvan Lake, AB and I've lived in the Lethbridge since 2012. I'm a below average golfer on a good day, I take as many hiking trips to Waterton as possible in the summer and I love my two cats, Outlaw and Jynx, and my dog, Maverick, more than most people I know. I look forward to providing accurate, timely news coverage in southern Alberta for plenty of years to come!
