Zak is a reporter at the Saskatoon Star Phoenix, where he's been covering Saskatchewan's overdose crisis since 2019.

He began reporting on drug policy at his student newspaper before a stint covering Vancouver's Downtown Eastside for The Vancouver Sun and The Province.

He cares deeply about the social and economic roots of substance use, including trauma, poverty and inadequate housing, which he wrote on in a seven-part series called Trapped.

HIs reporting has won and been nominated for national awards.

Join us this week live and interactive as we get real about the portrayal of substance use in the media, toxic drug policy, and the importance of improving substance use resources in our province.
