The Solicitor General will conduct a crystal meth forum in Courtenay to inform the public about crystal meth, convey the scope of the problem and address the health impacts of the drug.

In addition to the Solicitor General, Terry Waterhouse from the University College of the Fraser Valley will speak on the scope of methamphetamine use and production in BC, and Ms. Angela Marshall of Fraser House will speak on the drug's health effects and risks.

As the support and participation of the community is critical to the effectiveness of any strategy targeting methamphetamine, local civic officials and health authority representatives will be in attendance, as will the RCMP to answer questions.
