Today, we pause to honour and remember the courage, sacrifice, and service of those who have served, and continue to serve, our country.

Many veterans and their families continue to carry invisible wounds, experiences of trauma, loss, and transition that deserve compassion, understanding, and support.

May we continue to listen, learn, and support those who have given so much 🌺

Su***de Awareness Month 💜 💙
***deAwareness

07/25/2025

The Royal Newfoundland Constabulary (RNC) is warning the public of the presence of a synthetic opioid, REMIFENTANIL, in the community in Corner Brook.

The RNC received a report this afternoon indicating that a quantity of packaged vials containing liquid synthetic opioid, Remifentanil, was missing. It has not been confirmed whether the package reached its intended destination, Western Memorial Hospital. The investigation into this report remains active.

The RNC advises extreme caution for individuals using illicit drugs as the criminal enterprise utilizes synthetic opioids, such as Remifentanil, to increase the potency of the substances. The effect of even a minute dose can be fatal.

If you or someone you know is using illicit drugs, please ensure there is a naloxone kit close by. Free naloxone kits are distributed by the Department of Health and Community Services. A list of distribution sites is available online at gov.nl.ca/hcs/naloxonekits.

If you or someone you know is experiencing the symptoms of a drug overdose, call 911 immediately. The Good Samaritan Act protects those experiencing a drug overdose or anyone present during an overdose from charges of possession when they call for emergency help.

The RNC is asking anyone with information to assist the investigation to please contact Corner Brook RNC at 709-637-4100. To remain anonymous, contact Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477) or visit nlcrimestoppers.com.
