  • New CPHA Position Statement on Alcohol
    The CPHA Position Statement on Alcohol seeks to mobilize multi-sectoral actions to reduce the burden of harms and costs associated with alcohol consumption in Canada.  This position statement alone will not effect change. We need the public health community, politicians, law enforcement personnel, provincial and municipal government officials and the cooperation of alcohol retailers and licensing agencies to join with us to instigate, influence and lead a comprehensive approach to alcohol harm reduction.
