The public is invited to a candlelight vigil Thursday at Bob McFadden Plaza in honor of International Overdose Awareness Day.

“The opioid epidemic is so huge, even in a town of our size,” said Samantha Szoyka, the youth program and outreach coordinator for Partnership Carson City. “As a community, we are starting to talk about it, but people still don’t know what resources are available to them or how they can connect with those resources.”

The vigil, which begins at 7 p.m., will feature a guest speaker and booths distributing information.

Carson City Fire Chief Sean Slamon will be the featured speaker at Monday’s Democratic luncheon. His presentation will focus on raising citizen awareness that western Nevada is at a significant earthquake risk, and of measures that can be taken to prepare for the worst in the event of a seismic event.
