Canadian Centre for Ethics in Sport

(Ottawa, Ontario – April 16, 2015) - Join the Canadian Centre for Ethics in Sport (CCES) and its partners on April 22, 2015, for a free, half-day Summit on Appearance- and Performance-Enhancing Drugs (APEDs) and Youth.

We will discuss current Canadian research on APEDs and high school students, explore potential solutions to this troubling problem – including the expansion of the CCES Succeed Clean program – and encourage a wide-ranging discussion about how we can work together to address it. We will also hear from a range of experts who will examine this issue from different perspectives, including: 

• Matthew Torigian, Ontario’s Deputy Minister of Community Safety and former President of the Ontario Association of Chiefs of Police
• Dr. Stephen Feder, Director, Adolescent Health Clinic, Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario
• Paul Melia, President and CEO of the CCES
• Sloden Lackovic, Staff Sergeant, Waterloo Regional Police Services

Don’t miss this opportunity to learn more about APEDs and youth – and to lend your voice to this important conversation.
