Moncton Overdose Spike Prompts Emergency Response and RCMP Warning
A sudden spike in drug overdoses in Greater Moncton, New Brunswick triggered an emergency response and renewed concern about the illicit drug supply in the region. The Codiac Regional RCMP says addressing illicit drugs remains one of its top priorities. The report is important beyond the immediate overdose crisis because fentanyl and other potent synthetic drugs can also create serious concerns for first responders, property owners and professionals who encounter contaminated environments where illicit drugs have been handled or used.
