Alcohol Policy Network

OPHA is please to announce that the Alcohol Policy Network (APN) has received confirmation of funding. The APN is one of a collection of former OHPRS resource centres whose mandates align with the Ontario Agency for Health Protection and Protection (OAHPP) and will now receive transfer payments from the OAHPP. The new and complementary alignment of the centres will enable the best use of resources to support interventions that have the greatest impact on health in Ontario.
