Drug information forums

The Eastern Ontario Health Unit (EOHU) and several other agencies have partnered to host a series of public information forums in the Five Counties region in May. Topic is drug use and abuse, with attention to the rising use of fentanyl and other “fad” drugs in major urban areas. The aim of the forums, “Fentanyl and Other Substances : Awareness and Prevention”, is to provide parents and young people with information on the risks of these new drug fads, and also about use and abuse of more common drugs and also alcohol. The forums are May 1 at the Glengarry District High School in Alexandria, May 4 at the Robert Hartley Complex in Hawkesbury, May 8 at St. Joseph High School in Cornwall, May 11 at St. Thomas Aquinas Catholic High School in Russell, May 16 at North Dundas District High School in Winchester, May 18 at Rockland District High School in Rockland, and May 31 at École secondaire de Casselman in Casselman.
