Welcome to ThreeThings.ca

We hope you’re visiting us to find out more about the Three Things campaign and to learn more about the substance misuse issues that exist in our communities. 

Addiction is a complex issue. It doesn’t always fit a certain mould or follow a particular path. But there are three key things we want you to know: 

 Addiction is not a choice. People may choose to use alcohol or drugs, but nobody chooses to become addicted.

 Stereotypes about addiction are misguided. People with addictions are not always whom you’d picture. Addiction can happen to people from all walks of life.

 People with addictions are not a lost cause. They are human beings who deserve to be treated with dignity and respect — and your support can make a difference!

Now we invite you to explore ThreeThings.ca and learn more about the nature of addiction, how the issue affects your community and how you can make a difference.
