First developed in 2016, it has been updated to include tobacco and cannibas.
The strategy was presented to the Municipality of Argyle’s Committee of the Whole Tuesday night by Larry Phillips with Mental Health and Addictions and Yarmouth Municipal councillor Loren Cushing.
Cushing says the project is about developing an action plan to reduce harms from substance abuse.
“We’ll get some feedback from the public before we do that, so that we have something in place where the three municipalities are on the same page when it comes to policies and bylaws so that they can be enforced properly,”
Cushing says the project also will reinforce existing regulations to be applied to specific local needs.

An interview with Loren Cushing and Larry Phillips will air this Sunday morning at 9;04 a.m. on the Y95 CJLS Weekender
