DETECTIVE STEVEN WALTON TO SPEAK FOR WECADA

WECADA (Weyburn Council on Alcohol and Drug Abuse) is pleased to
announce that Detective Steven Walton Retired, has agreed to come and
speak within our community. WECADA is hoping to bring Mr. Walton
during Drug Awareness Week which is November 19 to the 23, 2006.

Mr. Walton has a wealth of knowledge that they are thrilled to bring
to our community. He offers a number of workshops and it is the belief
of WECADA that our community is aware that alcohol and drug issues
exist in our community and would welcome a guest speaker with as much
expertise and influence as Mr. Walton has within his field. Mr. Walton
is a member of the California Narcotic Officers Association, the
Clandestine Investigators Association, and is a member of the National
Advisory Board for the Police Marksman Magazine. In his hometown of
Calgary, Mr. Walton is on the advisory board and is an active
instructor for the Addictions Studies faculty at Mount Royal College.
Mr. Walton is a contributing editor to the American School Health
Association and is an instructor for the nationwide drug awareness
program P.A.R.T.Y. Mr. Walton has been published numerous times, and
has written two books, First Response Guide to Street Drugs, and Club
Drugs, Designer Drugs, and Predatorial Chemicals; First Response Guide
to Street Drugs Volume 2.

WECADA held a meeting Tuesday, September 5, 2006 at The Canadian
Mental Health Building, 404 Ashford Street, at 7 p.m. to discuss and
plan for bringing Mr. Walton to Weyburn.

If you were unable to attend the meeting, but would like to provide
some input, sponsorship, or ask questions, please contact WECADA at
