Drink Smart Canada
is a national public education and awareness campaign which seeks to promote
the responsible use of alcohol. Our unique strategy concentrates not on
the abusers of alcohol but rather on those who are in their company.
|
Our message is … "If you are with a friend, family member or acquaintance who is drinking and becoming at risk of hurting themselves or others, you should intervene in an appropriate fashion to make sure that they do not become just another tragic statistic." |
Our Honourary Patrons include:
· The Canadian
Police Association
· The Canadian Association of Fire Chiefs
· The Canadian Nurses Association
· The Canadian Medical Association
The most recent Drink Smart initiative is on Fetal Alcohol Syndrome or
FAS. Under the "MY BOOKS" link you will find the book entitled
"Fetal Alcohol Syndrome - The Real Brain Drain" which provides
substantial information about this subject. If you are associated with
an FAS group, please send me an email or letter so that I can keep you
informed about our progress. The Minister of Health has asked me to consult
with his FAS Advisory Group and I am hopeful that a new national awareness
program will be launched this year.
Below you will find a copy of the Drink Smart Brochure and 2 posters which we have circulated across Canada. Your input on issues related to responsible use of alcohol would be very welcome.
