The Sunny Side Up Breakfast, our annual fundraiser, allows us to connect with and educate our community while raising funds needed to maintain our operations.
As the name suggests, the event is positive and upbeat, reflecting the “sunny side” that our community can generate in response to the challenge of addiction.
This year, our main event will be held in Saint John in the Delta Marriott ballroom on October 24th. Guests will be invited to enjoy a continental breakfast buffet and informal networking before the program.
Dr. David Best, one of the leading voices in the Inclusive Recovery Cities movement, will be our keynote speaker. He will be joined by a panel of local stakeholders to explore how Saint John stands to benefit from becoming Canada’s first Inclusive Recovery City.
