Drug Awareness Committee Activities

Portage Graduation
Six members of council attended the Graduation / Recognition ceremonies at the Hampton High School on Sept. 30. The auditorium was filled to capacity with family members and supporters of the forty young people who had finished the rehabilitation course for drug and alcohol addiction at the Cassidy Lake facility. This was a very moving ceremony as each received their certificate and briefly told how the Portage program had helped them get control of their lives.
