Maple Ridge Crystal Meth Task Force broadens role


Maple Ridge, BC: The Maple Ridge Crystal Meth Task Force is pleased to announce that it is expanding its mandate from crystal meth only to a broader spectrum of addictions and will now include mental illness.

Says Chairperson Mary Robson: “What Maple Ridge has been able to accomplish, through funding and the synergy that is happening in our community, is recovery and post-treatment.”

She adds: “In July 2004 the community took ownership of its problem and Maple Ridge has been the only community in the GVRD that has been successful in reducing the number of people on its streets.”

The newly mandated Maple Ridge Crystal Meth Task Force will hold its first meeting on January 15, 2007 from 3 PM - 4:30 PM in the Genstar room at the ACT theatre in Maple Ridge.

Anyone wishing to attend or wanting details should please contact Rani Bellwood (Mobile) 778.230.8101
