Substance Abuse Prevention Project – “Drugwise Parents”
The Substance Abuse Prevention Project: Drugwise Parents was a successful project for the Canadian Home and School Federation and the Prince Edward Island Home and School Federation.

The provincial Federation urges Local Home and School Associations to continue organizing these types of information sessions to remain current as new information is made public.
