The federal government says it is investing $750,000 in a local initiative aimed at reducing substance use among young people in the Nipissing–Timiskaming region.
Nipissing–Timiskaming MP Pauline Rochefort announced the funding for the Planet Youth Nipissing initiative on Friday. The investment is provided through Health Canada’s Youth Substance Use Prevention Program and will be administered by the North Bay Parry Sound District Health Unit.
The funding is intended to strengthen local prevention efforts and support healthier futures for youth in the region.
