While the Durham chapter of CAF was only formed two weeks ago, its members have been meeting informally for years. "We decided to make it formai in order to increase our ad- vocacy power, " ex- plained the chapter's newiy elected chairman Dr. Brian McLatchie. McLatchie, who's also the director of Oshawa's Pinewood Centre, a drug and alcohol rehabilitation clinic, said the new chapter will join in the CAF's national efforts to com- bat and educate people about substance abuse. By joining the federal organization, McLat- chie hopes the Durham group will have greater lobbying power on local and national issues. 'We want to present a more united front," he said. While coordination between the many local groups which deal with sustance abuse has been quite good, according to him, the branch seeks to get more individuals and community groups involved. "I'm sure we'll1 spon- sor seminars, forums and put together educational packages," he said. An example of a local issue, the Durham committee could get in- voived in is lobbyîng for a drug treatment programn for aduits. Aithough the region has a programn for teenagers, there's currently nothing for aduits. "It's a major crack in our services. The number of adult drug-users is climbing enough to warrant somne kind of service," said McLatchie. Nationally, the Durham chapter could use its clout to support efforts to control the sale of alcohol or raise the drinking age. The executive com- mittee consists of representatives fromn Pînewood Centre, Destiny Manor (a residential program for women), the Durham Board of Education, the regional branch of the province's Addiction Research Foundation and the Durham Regional Heaith Unit. Individuals who would like to join or know more about CAF's work, should cali McLatchie at the Pinewood Centre. A PARTY TO GO...
