About the Strategy
The need for a coordinated response across the health and social service sectors as well as collaboration with local enforcement officers, educators, and the community brought together a multi-sectoral steering committee in 2019 with the aim to reduce the harms related to drug and alcohol use in Lambton County.
Our Vision
A flourishing community working together to prevent and reduce the harms of drug and alcohol misuse.

The Three Pillars
The Steering Committee
The Steering Committee is made up of leaders at health and social service organizations across Lambton and provides overarching leadership to the action tables, to ensure that we fulfill the direction of the Strategy. The Steering committee agrees to :
- Provide overarching leadership for Lambton Drug and Alcohol Strategy action tables;
- Apply an interdisciplinary lens to known, emergent, and anticipated community and system-level issues;
- Build upon and create lasting collaborative partnerships among community partners;
- Share their opinions and experiences and influence the direction of prevention, intervention, and capacity building activities;
- Support efforts identified by community strategies with emerging trends; and
- Advise on how resources (i.e. staff capacity, budget, etc.) will be allocated to support implementation of Lambton Drug and Alcohol Strategy (LDAS) recommendations.
