[National Addictions Awareness Week] highlights solutions to help address the [harm caused by] alcohol and other drug use. It provides an opportunity for Canadians to learn more about prevention, to talk about treatment and recovery, and to bring forward solutions.

OBS

Drug Awareness Week (DAW) was started in 1980, co-sponsored by the Nova Scotia Commission on Drug Dependency. In 1981 the four Atlantic provinces joined forces to plan an Atlantic Canada campaign. When the majority of territories and provinces began sponsoring drug awareness activities in 1985, DAW became a Canada-wide event. In 1987, the DAW partnership of Aboriginal communities from across Canada sought to have the week proclaimed National Addictions Awareness Week.
