Fast, free, anonymous drug checking & information to people of all ages in the Nelson Office and mobile clinics in Castlegar, Trail & Grand Forks:

  • Drug checking in person including a conversation about what exactly the substance is made of
  • Take Home Fentanyl Test Strips, and lessons on how to use them, so drugs can be tested for fentanyl even when offices are closed

  • Grand Forks on every first and third Tuesday of the month at the Gospel Chapel, 7048 Donaldson Drive
