Drug overdoses in Canada... I'm looking for statistics. Can anyone help?

A female Canada age 41-50, anonymous writes:

I recently lost someone from a drug overdose. I'm trying to find out how many people die yearly from drug-overdoses in Canada, but I cant find anything. There are loads of articles but no statistics. If you have any information or how to find it, please let me know. It would be comforting to know that it was not the only one. I do hear it all the time, but some people says its not that many, especially not at a young age. The best would be by province, but I spent the last few days searching and found no results. I was surprised, why would it be so challenging to find it out. Thanks

Hi Sweetheart,

First of all let me say how very sorry I am for the loss of your friend and under such horrible circumstances. Drugs are such an insidious part of our lives these day wherever we live. The problem in this country is horrendous, even in rural areas addicts are able to get hold of herion and cocaine and its frightening how quickly the problem is escalating.

I have had a rootle around the web and come across this website, maybe you have already found it but if not try it.

Hope this is of some help.
