The Ottawa Rotary Club invites you to be a part of this free community presentation of "Fighting Fentanyl...Know is the new NO" on Monday, June 9, 2025.

The introduction of illegally manufactured fentanyl into the drug supply has changed everything. Counterfeit pills are everywhere, and drug cartels are targeting our youth with our own technology…smart phones and apps. It just takes a few clicks to find a fake pill and it can be delivered to your home just like ordering a pizza. The only safe pill is one that comes prescribed by a doctor and filled at a pharmacy. This is a topic that EVERY family needs to be talking about at the dinner table...often.
