The truth about marijuana is...

IT WILL IMPACT
YOUR LIFE!

Many youth today are using cannabis not realizing the impact that it can have on them today... tomorrow... or even on their future. Our hope is to educate youth about the dangerous side effects cannabis can have on them so they will remain free to live their lives to the fullest... substance free. Let us know if we can assist your group in starting the conversation.

Cannabis Campaign

The Cannabis Campaign was born out of a desire to have an honest conversation with young people about the dangers of Cannabis. In 2018 the Canadian government passed legislation to legalize marijuana. While there are many political views on

this topic we don’t want impressionable youth caught in the crossfire. We want the facts about cannabis and the impact it can have on their lives to be clear. The Christian Action Federation of New Brunswick wants to empower NB youth to make wise choices.

Did you know that the average age youth are asked to try cannabis is 14.3 years? Our campaign will target the middle school age bracket and the campaign includes: a video to circulate on Social Media, several Social Media posts, encouragement for teens to take a pledge not to use/try this drug during their middle/high school years and by taking the pledge they will receive some “climbhigher” swag.

Climbing Higher has launched a new website and will be intentional about tracking with youth and their parents on the cannabis conversation. Please pray that the youth of our province will climb higher and realize their goals and dreams. Getting involved with drugs during their formative years alters their journey and takes them off course.

Thanks for your support!

LIFE IS BEST WHEN
YOU CLIMB HIGHER

You should not be weighed down while shooting towards your dreams. Life can be lived to its fullest when you are substance free.

It was almost three years ago that the CAFNB initiated the development of a campaign to provide information to the youth of New Brunswick about the effects of Cannabis use. Our hope was to provide the youth with information that would enable them to make good choices. The Atlantic Baptist Foundation was presented with a proposal for a grant to permit CAFNB to develop the campaign. As Marsha described this launch is the accumulation of a yearlong effort by Marsha and her team. The launch of this campaign would not have been possible without the grant from the Atlantic Baptist Foundation. I would like to take this opportunity to personal thank the Atlantic Baptist Foundation for their on going support.
