In 2022, a record 181 people in the Northern Health region died from illicit drug toxicity, according to data reported by the BC Coroners Service.
“I want to recognize that healthcare is a challenge generally in rural and remote communities,” Eby said. “We are working to keep people in communities." Terrace and Prince George have been especially hard-hit in the north, with the local health areas having the second- and fifth-highest rates of illicit drug deaths in the province.
