The Community Opioid Response Task Force was launched in December 2017 in response to the opioid crisis in Grande Prairie. The purpose of the Task Force is to coordinate community efforts in responding to the opioid crisis to develop a response based on local need and resources.
The Task Force is composed of school district representatives, health care representatives, RCMP, social services organizations, community members, individuals with lived-experience in the community, and several municipal government departments.
