Fentanyl: Health Risks and Exposure Prevention

Learning Day for Managers

The opioid crisis has become a serious reality in Canada, one that could affect anyone. In response to a recent increase in inquiries on this topic, an information session will be held on fentanyl, a powerful synthetic opioid at the forefront of this epidemic.

The Government of Canada takes the health and safety of public servants very seriously, and there has never been a more important time to discuss this issue. Four speakers from key-player departments on the opioid file will explore the health risks of fentanyl and ways to prevent exposure.

Register today—let's start the conversation.
