The Tailgate Toolkit empowers and educates thousands across the province

Each are precursors to tragic outcomes and each are contributing to a generational poisoned drug supply crisis that knows no boundaries, whether they be age, gender, or income.

“The illicit drug poisoning epidemic that is plaguing the country and the province is not just affecting the unhoused population, it’s affecting everyone,” explains VICA CEO Rory Kulmala. “This is an opportunity for us to work within the industry that we know and help folks who may be dealing with substance use or mental health issues.”

“There’s also a work-hard, play-hard attitude that young men in general have and that encompasses the construction industry as well, where they are using recreationally and are now dying because of the poisoned drug supply,” Kulmala says.The Tailgate Toolkit Project consists of four main components. In partnership with the Umbrella Society, an online industry support group is available virtually weekly to assist tradespeople who are struggling with mental health or substance use issues, and to provide guidance to those who want to help others. This group is not a step-program and you do not need to be sober to attend.
