Flying Dust FN hosts Addictions Awareness Week
Addiction isn’t an easy topic to discuss any time of the year, but the Flying Dust First Nation brought the subject front and centre during this year’s Addictions Awareness week events.
Led by health staff, there was a wide variety of activities planned that ranged all ages, and included cultural celebration and practices as well.
The week included a pancake breakfast, a MADD red ribbon walk, drum group and singers, a skating party and a youth panel shared their stories and answered questions from fellow youth. To cap off the week, an Alcoholics Anonymous roundup will be held today and a dry dance this evening. Throughout the week, there have been several community meals as well.
Sheila Lambert, Director of Health Services, said it was important to have a wide range to reach as many community members as possible.
