Press Release
The Rainy River District Substance Abuse Prevention Team (SAPT) and Fort Frances Community Opiate Task Force have merged and will be combining their efforts to raise awareness and prevent substance abuse across the district.
Lori Maki and Aimee Beazley, co-chairs of the newly-formed committee, are pleased with the new opportunity to partner and move forward as a team.
“There may have been some confusion that [the local] SAPT would no longer continue, but we want to stress that we are still here and stronger than ever,” said Beazley.
“We encourage our community partners, or others who may be interested in our committee, to contact one of us,” she added.
“Coming together as one committee is a natural fit, and an opportunity to share our knowledge and resources to further promote education and awareness of substance abuse and misuse in our communities,” noted Maki.
The local SAPT meets monthly at La Verendrye Hospital here.
If you have any questions, feel free to contact Beazley at 274-8541 ext. 295 or Maki at 274-4824.
