In what seems like another lifetime ago, I was involved in the co-creation of a national activist group called the Canadian Cannabis Coalition. This group is now online networking group of hundreds of activists across Canada and the US, who are focused on drug law reform.
Through harm reduction strategizing for our regional health authority, I again had the opportunity to work with another CCC, the Creating Caring Communities working group. Creating Caring Communities was formed in 2011 by a dedicated group of staff from Interior Health, ANKORS, Community Services, Selkirk College, Freedom Quest, the RCMP and other community members.
