CITY SUPPORTS FIGHT AGAINST CRYSTAL METH

City Council is supporting a bid by Community Connections to acquire 
some of the funding the Union of British Columbia Municipalities is 
making available to communities that want to institute campaigns 
against crystal meth use.

The UBCM is administering funds made available by the province to 
fight the scourge of crystal meth, however, Mayor Mark McKee said the 
program "may be underfunded and over-subscribed."

Dozens of towns and cities in BC has each sought $10,000 grants to 
combat meth-amphetamine use.

The City will nonetheless provide Community Connections with a letter 
of support for its application.
