United Way Bruce Grey is holding the 6th annual We Remember Them event, honour lives lost to the opioid crisis.
Taking place on Saturday at the Owen Sound Farmers Market, the event acts as a tribute to those lost in the area running from 8am-12:30pm.
Family members are encouraged to take a carnation and release it into the river with the flowers drifting out into the bay being a symbolic act of remembrance and love.
The inititive was founded in 2021 by Gelja Sheardown in memory of her late husband Barrett Warwick who died of a fatal overdose.
Donations for the event will be accepted for the Supportive Outreach service Project.
