cannabisOn October 17, Canada legalizes cannabis. To help parents, grandparents and other caregivers learn the facts about cannabis, the Community Drug and Alcohol Strategy is holding a number of community-based education sessions across Grey Bruce.

The goal of these events is to provide parents with an opportunity to learn the facts from local professionals. These sessions will equip parents with the information needed to have open and honest conversations with their teenagers. Parents and young adults need to know that cannabis is not a benign substance and that there are risks associated with is use, especially for those under 25.

The community-based education session are scheduled for:

· Monday, October 1 - Durham Community Centre

· Wednesday, October 3 - Saugeen Shores Community Complex

· Wednesday, October 10 - Wiarton Community Centre

· Thursday, October 11 - Town of The Blue Mountains Town Hall
