Remembering Lives Lost to Fentanyl | Winnipeg News

Hundreds gather in Winnipeg for the third annual Fentanyl Awareness Day Walk, honoring loved ones lost to drug overdoses and calling for compassion, not stigma. Organized by the Singing Red Bear Foundation, founded by Joseph Fourre after losing his son Harlan to fentanyl, the event this year coincided with what would have been Harlan’s 34th birthday — a poignant reminder of lives cut short. Families share stories of vibrant, hopeful individuals, urging society to see them as people, not statistics. While Manitoba sees a slight drop in overdose deaths, organizers stress the crisis remains urgent and community action is vital. The walk’s message: break the silence, create safe spaces for grief, and support those struggling — because no one should face this alone.
