BON Chief and Council understands that during the COVID-19 pandemic there has been an increase in drug use and the selling of illegal drugs within our community. Our most vulnerable, our children, are the most impacted and we must take steps to protect them.
We have lost lives due to these illegal drugs within our community and we cannot continue to stand idle anymore and wait for another death of one of our relatives. We must take the necessary steps to begin the healing process for a healthy community.
We must stand together to offer the necessary resources to help our community, please if you know of anyone struggling please support them by coming forward and we will do our best to help. Our community deserves better and our collective Love is stronger than drugs.
BON Chief and Council
