Today, the Honourable Ginette Petitpas Taylor, Member of Parliament for Moncton-Dieppe, on behalf of the Honourable Marjorie Michel, Minister of Health, announced more than $8 million for nine projects under the Substance Use and Addictions Program (SUAP). These projects will respond to critical needs related to substance use and addictions in communities across Atlantic Canada.
SUAP funding will provide critical support to a range of innovative and time-limited community-based projects that emphasise supports towards treatment and recovery, as well as prevention and harm reduction. These initiatives are providing critical services by connecting individuals to culturally appropriate, trauma-informed, and evidence-based programs and services.
