We're talking about weed - new cannabis information campaign launched!
Wellington-Dufferin-Guelph Public Health has launched a cannabis information campaign to provide youth and adults with information about the health effects of cannabis use, ways to reduce health risks, and links to local resources and support. The campaign features a series of seven short videos, four aimed at youth and three aimed at adults and parents

talking about weed 
Celebrating artists, community and FWD!
 
We all know that community is important - not just being physically present, but contributing.  Community is a place where we are appreciated for the gifts, skills, and ideas that only we can bring.
FWD put out the call to local artists asking for submissions that reflect what community means to them.  The results are amazing!  Jay S. Lefler Rosenberg, Nathan Gatten and Sarah Henry-Godfrey all shared their creations about community, showcasing themes of interdependence, contribution,
beauty and individuality.
