Stop Pushing
The Government of Yukon has launched a public education awareness campaign aimed at youth and delaying the use of alcohol. This educational campaign is one of several action items that was identified in the Yukon Substance Abuse Action Plan (YSAAP) released in October 2005. We hope it will add to the efforts of the new Safer Communities and Neighbourhoods Act by reducing addictions in our communities.
Yukon youth need to know that it is wise to delay the age they begin drinking. The goal of this specific education campaign is to inform youth and the adults in their lives about the dangers and increased risk of addiction from drinking alcohol at an early age.
