The Renfrew County and District Health Unit is continuing to make the rounds next month in raising awareness around the use of illicit fentanyl.

Talks were hosted in the Madawaska and Bonnechere Valley last month and will now be making stops in Deep River, Arnprior and Pembroke.

Talks will be help by a panel of health professionals and community partners talking naloxone use, education at home, treatment and services for opioid addiction.
