Rows of white crosses in downtown Sudbury, Ont., honour those lost to opioid crisis

Denise and Brittney Sandul

What has become a haunting memorial in downtown Sudbury, Ont., started with a single white wooden cross erected by a grieving mother in October, at the spot where her 22-year-old son had died of an opioid overdose. A few months later, there are now more than 150 wooden crosses at the site, each bearing the name of someone else — another life lost to the opioid crisis.
