A wonderful visit to Canada's True North where I "saw" 1100 students in three days wrapped up with a well-attended evening presentation at the Health Promotion Unit. Many thanks to Ian Parker, Health Promotion Officer for all his hard work and organization.
Thank you, Yukon College, for the friendly welcome your students gave me! Your campus is beautiful and this 'southerner' was grateful the outside walking distances from parking lot to lecture hall are considerately short! The videoconferences to points even farther north were a lot of fun, enabling us to reach additional youth interested to hear about tobacco trickery. I hear there has been follow-up interest from those students in Watson Lake and Mayo.
Project Moving Target is being implemented in northern communities and I look forward to hearing of its success.
I'm sad to report another ineffectual effort has been made to defile this site.
h24-82-74-75.vf.shawcable.net / 24.82.74.75 is the IP address of the poster who left an unsolicited link for us here, and this information and the link has been forwarded to the RCMP and Shaw Cable. The RCMP take a dim view of sick child pornography on websites such as the one sent to us by the above IP address, and Shaw Cable do not condone use of their internet service for spamming and distributing illegal material of this especially deviant nature. This board is read by students from elementary school age through to high school. Those who wish they could undermine our efforts overestimate their ability to cause disruption.
We do what is necessary to address these sorry reflections on those who claim to "fight for freedom" (as long as you agree with them) and we move on. Too much to do to allow petty and sick-minded efforts to slow us down!
Thanks to all in Whitehorse and those other destinations in the Yukon who gave me such a warm welcome - especially when the temperatures dipped to minus 27 (minus 43 in Old Crow)!
