Web links on Crystal Methamphetamine

June 14, 2005 -- The Ukrainian Canadian Congress -- Saskatchewan Provincial Council (UCC-SPC), the umbrella organization for over two hundred Ukrainian organizations in Saskatchewan held its Annual Meeting this past weekend in Prince Albert. In addition to receiving the usual activity and financial reports, participants discussed the growing problem of Crystal Meth addiction, its accessibility and its devastating effects.

UCC-SPC’s leadership role with youth has been well documented through Youth Action Now (YAN). It was noted that one of the best deterrents to substance use is the involvement of young people in meaningful, positive, self-image building activities, such as has been demonstrated through YAN. Nonetheless the growing popularity of Crystal Methamphetamine is troublesome and UCC-SPC is taking a pro-active approach to investigate venues that may best assist to curb the usage of the abusive substance. The first step is the addition of resource links to the UCC-SPC website at Web links on Crystal Methamphetamine.
