Substance Abuse Task Force Set Up

Kenora's Substance Abuse and Mental Health Task Force has come out with its first ever Drug Strategy for the community.

The Task Force was set up about a year ago, with close to 30 local agencies represented at the table.

Constable Bob Bernie of the OPP says the Drug Strategy is about more than just enforcement.

Bernie says the goal of the task force is to reduce the harm caused by substance abuse.

The Task Force has set up a web-site and hopes to develop some billboards to help to deliver their messages.
