Last week’s council review of Smiths Falls’ committees and boards had councillor Peter McKenna wondering if the municipal drug strategy group could be reinvigorated.
At suggestion of the health unit, council has climbed on board to partner up with Planet Youth Lanark County surrounding their survey results from earlier this year.
McKenna hopes a different approach comes from this collaboration.
Councillor Lorraine Allen says the town’s worked with Planet Youth for several years and this is another opportunity to engage with them using local data.
You can hear more from the chair of Planet Youth on their survey results and the Icelandic model here.
