Intro: The federal Minister of Health, Anne McLellan, today marked World No Tobacco Day by attending a special awards ceremony for over 400 Ottawa high school students who participated in a contest to develop tobacco control mass media projects.
In her remarks to the students, Minister McLellan announced that Health Canada will invest a further $2M in new mass media contribution funding this year. This funding builds on the approximately $5 million that was allocated in 2002-2003. Through these regional mass media initiatives, the Tobacco Control Programme supports the provinces and territories, as well as key national and regional non-governmental organizations in implementing mass media campaigns to support all aspects of the Federal Tobacco Control Strategy.
