Drug Addiction: It Hits Us All
Drug addictions are a major concern in our society. However, there is considerable debate over the most appropriate responses to this growing problem, and the rights of people who use drugs. What happens when we criminalize addictions, or fail to provide medical services and supports for safer drug use and treatment? Do people choose to become addicted? Are addictions health issues? Come to discuss these challenging questions and others.
Tuesday, November 2, 2010 6-8pm (talk starts at 6:30)
Whet Cafe
2606 Agricola Street, Halifax (in Fred at corner of Agricola and North)

Cancer Day of Action

This day is an opportunity for organizations, health professionals, concerned citizens, patients and family members affected by cancer to meet face-to-face with elected officials, deliver key messages, and demand action on cancer. The key message this year is the need for fair, consistent access to treatment across Canada for cancer and other major conditions. Millions of Canadians have no financial protection from the high costs of treatment. Learn more about this issue here: http://www.controlcancer.ca/take-action-cdc.

3. Be a part of the action on November 3rd at Province House in Halifax, NS. Contact joannep@c2cc.ca

Canadians of all ages, experiences and ethnicities can have their say in cancer care and prevention. The more surveys, connections and community conversations we achieve – the more powerful our national voice will be on November 3rd. Pass it on.
