Past Events

The City of Vancouver’s Drug Policy Program is working with a broad-based coalition to initiate a culture of prevention of harm from substance use in Vancouver. The group hopes to nurture a culture of prevention by hosting a series of events that will provide a platform to profile current prevention work in the community, facilitate interactive discussions on current critical issues in prevention and offer a forum for dissemination of recent research and findings.
