Drug-Impaired Driving Prevention Program

The FNCPA’s Drug-impaired Prevention Program was developed to provide a First Nations specific toolkit including community engagement, information, and promotional materials to First Nations police services to increase awareness of drug-impaired driving issues and the legalization of cannabis in Canada.

The aim is to enhance awareness, provide key information, promote discussion, and encourage First Nations youth to make safe, healthy choices about driving and accepting rides. The materials use positive messaging and a matter-of-fact, culturally grounded approach to present information in ways that will appeal to First Nations youth, families, and communities.

All materials are available in both French and English.
