Petition to the House of Commons
- Connecting people to the community is key to successful long-term addiction recovery;
- A sociocultural approach to recovery involves both the individual and their social and physical environment;
- Supporting the community plays a significant role in helping the community at large to learn about recovery, save lives with inspiration and educate people on how to access the health care system;
- Community inspires recovery when it is founded on the principles of compassion, trust, faith, integrity, diversity, fun and unity to provide therapeutic environments in which individuals and families are assisted in developing skills necessary to live freely in recovery;
- Recovery Service Providers across Canada are working together to overcome addiction;
- Recovery Day events held across Canada in September are open for all to attend, people in recovery, those who support recovery, and those who are still in active addiction looking for solutions are invited to participate, and
- Many local and provincial governments support the initiative to have the month of September declared “National Addiction Recovery Awareness Month”.
