Welcome from CCSA’s CEO
Dear friends and colleagues,
As Chief Executive Officer of the Canadian Centre on Substance Abuse (CCSA), it gives me great pleasure to welcome
you to the 2015 Issues of Substance (IOS) conference in the vibrant and historic city of Montreal.
The theme of this year’s conference is Addiction Matters. Substance abuse affects us all. It does not discriminate
between big city and small town, between man and woman, between those with healthy incomes and those struggling
to make ends meet. Binge drinking, impaired driving, prescription drug misuse — Canadians with substance use
disorders and their friends, families and communities — millions are touched by the harms of substance abuse and the
disease of addiction every single day.
“Personal” matters — coming together in person at the only national conference to bring together addiction workers,
healthcare professionals, researchers, policy makers and knowledge brokers from across the country and around the
world enables us to share information, perspectives and experience.
As mothers, fathers, sons and daughters we see first hand the fear and shame due to stigma and discrimination in
our society that can be felt as the people we care about struggle with substance abuse, gambling and the disease of
addiction.
It has become very clear to me that a large part of any solution involves addressing head on the stigma associated with
substance abuse. This disorder does not discriminate. Yet many still believe it is a moral failing and discriminate against
those with a substance abuse dependency. This belief can prevent our family, friends, neighbours and colleagues from
seeking the help they need.
The stigma and discrimination must end. Science has shown that the disease of addiction is a relapsing brain disorder
and that, with the right prevention services, the right interventions and the right treatments, long-term recovery and the
person’s return to family, community and the workplace are both attainable and sustainable. Recovery is real.
As leaders, we interpret the intelligence gathered from monitoring and surveillance activities to identify the potential
for new threats like fentanyl and to inform policy, enhance professional practices and improve services for education,
prevention, treatment and recovery.
As conveners, we come together to take action on addiction matters, to build awareness about the disease of
addiction and its devastating harms, to challenge social stigma and to celebrate the role that recovery plays in
improving the lives of individuals with a substance abuse dependency.
As collaborators, we bring substance abuse and addiction out from under the cloak of anonymity to demonstrate
what is truly possible with the right services and supports. CCSA assembles the right experts to tackle the health
concerns and impacts associated with alcohol, cannabis, prescription drugs — including when mental health and
substance abuse intersect and when they stand apart. We engage these same people as we develop evidence-based
recommendations and implement solutions. We turn the evidence into action through our work with many of you.
This is at the heart of what we do every day at CCSA.
2
For over 25 years, CCSA has been working across the broad spectrum of substance abuse to address the many
complex issues we face as a society, and to improve the lives of Canadians in communities throughout our country.
We are the only organization with a national, legislated mandate to address the harms of alcohol and drugs on the
health and safety of Canadians.
Over the coming days, you will have an opportunity to benefit from an IOS program that is more comprehensive
than any offered at past conferences. The program reflects the depth and breadth of expertise that our collaborators
and partners bring to the table. I hope you have the opportunity to benefit from many of their learnings, to share your
expertise with fellow IOS participants and to take back to your place of work the ideas that inspire you.
In addition to the program offerings related to substance issues, this year we are fortunate to be working with
Mise sur toi to offer a suite of concurrent sessions on the issue of problem gambling. In doing so, we recognize the
wide-ranging effects of addictive behaviour that stretch beyond our traditional focus on licit and illicit drugs. I hope
this will provide all of you with a new and different perspective on matters of addiction.
In closing, thank you for your dedication to our field. I hope you will find the sessions and discussions professionally
stimulating and personally enlightening. I look forward to the opportunity to meet with you, to hear your stories, and
to share our common vision of how Addiction Matters for all Canadians.
Sincerely,
Rita Notarandrea, M.H.Sc., C.H.E.

Welcome from CCSA’s Chair
Dear friends and colleagues,
Welcome to the 2015 Issues of Substance (IOS) conference. On behalf of the Board of Directors for the Canadian
Centre on Substance Abuse (CCSA), it is my pleasure to extend to you our heartfelt thank you for being a part of
this exciting national event for professionals and others engaged in the field of substance abuse and addiction.
As Board Chair, I am delighted to be a part of this conference with its focus on how Addiction Matters. As
conference attendees well know, addiction matters because of the wide-ranging impacts addiction has on our
healthcare and criminal justice systems, and our economy. Most importantly, however, addiction matters because it
affects so many people personally — at home, at work and in our communities.
It has been encouraging to see the growing engagement of individuals and organizations with this common vision
that Addiction Matters. Mobilizing and collaborating with partners from across Canada and around the globe, CCSA
and our partners have had a collective impact on the development of effective prevention and treatment programs
by producing credible, evidence-based information and championing the uptake of strategies and resources. This
work has improved Canada’s capacity to make informed policy decisions and improve the quality of services on
matters related to addiction.
The biennial IOS conference provides an additional platform for CCSA and its many partners to continue to build
on this great work. From the concurrent sessions, workshops, poster presentations and exhibitor displays to
serendipitous meetings and networking over a meal or coffee or in hallways and elevators — IOS offers a unique
opportunity to share knowledge and information, and to determine how we can continue to work together better to
make a real difference in the lives of those with substance use disorders.
This year’s program is the most comprehensive in the history of IOS, and I hope you are able to take advantage of
the pre- and post-conference workshops organized by CCSA to extend your learning opportunities while we are all
gathered together in Montreal.
Addiction Matters. With increasing recognition of its significance by growing numbers of Canadians, the
conversation is advancing to the foreground of the public agenda. We have the ability to change the dialogue about
the disease of addiction, and to improve the treatment and recovery outcomes for millions of Canadians.
On behalf of the Board, thank you for being here at IOS 2015, and for being a part of this dialogue. We look forward
to the opportunity to meet with you in the coming days, to learn more about the work you do, and to find out what
more we can be doing together.
Sincerely,
Leanne Lewis
Chair, Board of Directors
Canadian Centre on Substance Abuse

IT'S BETTER TO
DRINK REGULARLY
AND MODERATELY
THAN OCCASIONALLY
AND EXCESSIVELY.
Alcohol itself isn’t bad for the human body – excessive
drinking is what causes harm. To avoid excess,
women should have no more than 2 drinks a day, with
a maximum of 10 drinks a week. For men, it’s 3 a day,
no more than 15 a week. And nobody should drink
every day. Stick to the limits and enjoy yourself!

The Canadian Executive Council on Addictions (CECA) is
a national, non-governmental organization established in
April 2002 to influence public policy on substance use.
We offer:
•
a forum in which to develop common positions on substance use issues in Canada
•
the ability to strengthen the capacity and knowledge of addictions executives at the
federal, provincial, territorial and municipal levels
•
an environment of collaboration to integrate diverse issues and improve addiction
services across Canada
•
a means of delivering proactive advice to all three levels of government
CECA is made up of senior executives of substance use agencies in
Canada that have a legislated federal or provincial mandate, or are
recognized provincial authorities.
