National Addictions Awareness Week (NAAW)
A week to raise awareness about addictions and community resources
Amarjeet at the NAAWscars
When: Nov 16, 2009, at 12:00 pm
What: Addiction is an important issue in Edmonton. Over 36,000 Albertans sought treatment for addictions in 2007-2008, and we know addictions contribute to crime, poverty, and homelessness. This week is a great opportunity to raise awareness of the supports that exist in our community to fight addiction.
There will be events all week, culminating with the NAAW-scars gala, an event featuring commercials shot by youth to promote addictions-free lifestyles.
Where: City Hall
Admission: N/A
