Arrowhead Clubhouse - Candlelit Vigil
11.30am - Friday 17th April, 2026
April 2026 marks ten years since a BC public health emergency was declared due to the massive surge in opioid-related overdose deaths, largely driven by fentanyl. Since that declaration in 2016 over 17,500 people have died in BC due to toxic unregulated drugs (and over 700,000 across North America). Over 80 of those deaths we people we loved, who lived here on the Sunshine Coast.
To mark the anniversary, Arrowhead Clubhouse, working alongside the Sunshine Coast Community Action Team (CAT) and the amazing people at Sunshine Coast Hospice, will be holding a vigil and celebration of love and life for all those who have been taken too soon. We will be lighting 80 candles through out the Clubhouse to remember those we have loved and lost.
Please come and join us on April 17th – light a candle, share some yummy free food, listen to some music and support each other through these hard times.
Arrowhead is located at 5554 Inlet Av, Sechelt, BC (opposite the Post Office).
