Webinar description

Antoine Marcheterre and Jarred Aasen share their experience and knowledge providing drug checking service at two of the largest music festivals in British Columbia.  Drug checking data from these events provides a unique insight into the types of drugs that are used by many of the attendees.  The presenters will introduce what the current services offer through a user perspective, breakdown last year’s results and discuss the potential public health impacts of drug checking services in isolated meso-environments. The information presented in this webinar is supported by drug checking data from  2024 Festival Infographic – Interior Health Drug Checking.
