ABOUT FORT SASKATCHEWAN DRUG AWARENESS COMMITTEE

National Addictions Awareness Week, Nov. 20-26 2005

In October 2003, a community committee was formed to raise awareness
about emerging drug issues.

The committee focuses on creating public awareness in regards to drug
prevention, education, training and treatment.

The committee is a partnership of individuals, agencies and
organizations.

When the committee first formed, the use and abuse of crystal
methamphetamine had became a major issue.

The committee focuses on heightening awareness and making a difference
in the lives of people.

On the first Tuesday of every month the committee meets at the Boys &
Girls Club at 9:30 a.m.

The committee is planning on organizing two drug awareness
presentations for the year.
