Our mission is to carry out a leadership role in providing accurate and scientifically validated information to assist Canadians in making well informed decisions in the areas of prevention, treatment and education when considering the use and abuse of substances.

DPNC

The Drug Prevention Network of Canada was formed in 2005 to serve the Canadian population on a national level. We are dedicated to working with like-minded organizations and individuals to advance abstinence based drug and alcohol treatment and recovery programs, to promote a healthy lifestyle free of drugs and to opposing leglaization of drugs in Canada. We welcome your support in this important issue.

The DPNC BELIEVES IN THE FOLLOWING PRINCIPLES:

1. To promote a healthy lifestyle free of drugs.
2. To advocate no use of illegal drugs and no abuse of legal drugs.
3. To oppose legalization of drugs.
4. To support The United Nations Conventions and Treaties concerning drugs and psychotropic substances.
5. To participate with and support the DPNA (Drug Prevention Network of the Americas).

The 1994 United Nations World Drug Demand Reduction Conference for Non-Government Organizations (NGO's) held in Bangkok issued a mandate that NGOs form regional and hemispheric coalitions. The intent was for NGO's to develop a method for organizations to exchange ideas, materials and people. Such exchanges would help NGO's become more effective in their individual drug prevention activities.
