Planet Youth brings in the public to talk youth substance abuse prevention

Planet Youth Lanark County and the Carleton Place Municipal Drug Strategy are co-hosting a special meeting Zion Memorial Church to talk about survey results of Lanark County grade 10 students about substance use and other topics.

Attendees will also hear information on how strategies implemented in other regions are making a measurable difference in supporting healthier communities for children.

The meeting, which starts at 7 pm on the 24th is open to all who want to learn and share ideas and/or use their skills to help with preventative activities in their community. You can find links and registration details by tapping or clicking this text block.

We take a closer look at what will be discussed on Thursday’s edition of In Focus after the news@noon on Lake 88.
