Get Plugged-In!! The network for preventing harmful drug use

On Saturday November 18th, 2006 the City of Vancouver will host “Get Plugged-In!! The network for preventing harmful drug use” at Tupper Secondary from 10:00 am – 5:00 pm (Sign in will take place between 10 - 10:30). This event has been created by youth and youth allies to bring together youth, service providers, funders, policy makers and adult allies, to elaborate on our understanding of what prevention efforts can look like as they relate to substance use. This will be a fun, free event including music, food, informative workshops, film & claymation screenings produced by Vancouver youth, and an opportunity for youth to get plugged into prevention activities! Your participation and the participation of the youth you may work with will help make this event a success. The event will give youth and adults alike an opportunity to explore prevention approaches that they normally may not have access to. Better yet, participants will have the chance to engage in casual dialogue and build trust intergenerationally. Workshops may take the form of artistic expressions, interactive activities, sharing stories & experiences and much more! Attached below you will find information on how to register as a participant for the event. We ask that you please pass the word along and encourage youth and adults alike to register and attend !!! Location of the event: Tupper Secondary 419 East 24th Avenue (Between Main and Fraser) Deadline for registration is: Wednesday November 15, 2006, 3:00pm To Register Please contact David Yadlowski at the Drug Policy Program Ph: 604-871-6483 E: david.yadlowski@vancouver.ca
