Feds Invest in New Anti-Drug Program

The Northwestern Health Unit will be tackling illicit drug use thanks to funding from the Federal Government.
The Health Unit has received $301,000 from the National Anti-Drug Strategy.
Chief Medical Officer of Health Dr. Jim Arthurs says Health Unit staff will work with local youth to come up with strategies
for combating drug abuse.
Dr. Arthurs says the program will be rolled out in communities across the Kenora and Rainy River Districts, including First Nations.
