Jennifer Sicard, Pharmacist Manager of Medical Pharmacy in North Bay, will be providing clarification on the “methadone clinic” confusion [Jennifer’s words] as well as give a quick overview of addiction and how the Opioid Dependence Treatment program (also previously referred to as the Methadone Maintenance Treatment program) works. Jennifer believes that there is a lot of stigma and misunderstanding around the addiction, and the program in general, and thinks a quick summary might help people to understand why the downtown core of the city is the centre of it all.   There will be an opportunity for questions and answers.

The presentation is taking place during the Rotary club's weekly lunch at The Grande Event Centre (next to Cecil's Brewhouse and Kitchen).

The public are welcome to attend the presenation and also stay for lunch. Lunch is $13 per person.

The Rotary Club's motto is "Service Above Self". The Rotary Club of North Bay instills this philosophy of unselfish volunteer service in both its members and the community at large through the implementation and promotion of various projects.

The Club wants to ensure the youth of North Bay become aware of the benefits of volunteerism. Although we promote youth leadership through International Youth exchanges, we have not specifically promoted the values inherent in our motto with the youth of North Bay.

As part of our promotion of volunteerism, we will once again be honouring a grade ten or eleven student from each secondary school in North Bay that best exemplifies "Service Above Self".
