This week, we've been opening up the conversation around substance use for National Addictions Awareness Week #NAAW2025. What is clear is that across Canada, we need effective, holistic, whole-of-government, and community action that is rooted in evidence and compassion.

November 16th to the 22nd marks National Addictions Awareness Week, a time to discuss and learn about addictions, how they hurt us and how to reduce harm. Substance abuse is so often misunderstood, and proper treatment even more so. Learn more at www.ccsa.ca/en/guidance-... #NAAW2025
Anchoring Hope allows us to remember the importance of remaining positive, especially in times when the future is unknown.
What does Anchoring Hope mean to you?
#NAAW2025
As we observe National Addictions Awareness Week, we’re reflecting on what hope looks like in our industry. With unpredictable stress, isolation, and stigma affecting so many, we need real, whole-community solutions rooted in care and understanding. Let’s anchor hope together.

✅ Fact: Not all blind people like dogs, choose, or need a guide dog. Many prefer a white cane or other mobility tools—it's a personal choice based on lifestyle and comfort.
