Good afternoon, 

The Waterloo Chapter is entering all Chapter members into a draw to "win back" your annual membership fee (for the 2022/2023 membership year). Monday, December 5 is the last day to be part of our draw (extended from December 1). No action is required from you.

Spread the word and encourage others to renew or join by Monday, December 5! 

Also, SAVE THE DAT! We are hosting a "Holiday Centerpiece Event" via zoom, December 13th, 7:30-9:00. Further details will come.

Warm regards,

Mark the date: Oct. 12, 2022 from 6 – 7 p.m. for a virtual session on decriminalization of substances for personal use. 

In preparation for the municipal election later this month, we are fortunate to have Michael Parkinson, a leader in harm reduction and social advocacy, speak to us about decriminalization so that you can gain a greater understanding of this important part of harm reduction. This knowledge will help you make an informed decision when you vote for your mayor. It can also help make you a better advocate for those who use drugs.
