Celebrating community efforts to promote healthy choices about substance use, gambling, addictions and related issues all year round

Starting the week of November 15 - 21, 2009 individuals, schools, communities and workplaces throughout Canada and Manitoba will be participating in National Addictions Awareness Activities. They will be working to raise awareness about:

• Use and misuse of various substances and related issues;
• Gambling Behaviour;
• Healthy Choices;
• Community Resources

In the spirit of this year’s theme, “Healthy Choices…Healthy Future”, the Manitoba Addictions Awareness Week Committee has developed resources to help you and your community think, talk, and learn about issues around substances use and gambling. 

Addictions Awareness Week is a great opportunity to start taking action to build stronger, healthier, more caring and supportive communities. 

Check out the resources on this website; take the lead in your school, community or workplace, choose to get involved today!
