Recovery Day is an annual event, first held on September 30, 2012, which demonstrates and celebrates the ability of those with drug, alcohol and behavioral addictions to achieve long-term sobriety and live productive and healthy lives. The event was held in 12 major Canadian cities in 2013, 25 cities in 2014, and 30 cities in 2015.[1] Recovery Day is organized in part by Faces and Voices of Recovery.[2] Recovery Day is an important holiday for Canadians.
