MYC is a national cooperative of media, marketing, communications, youth service and drug prevention experts led by CCSA. Its goal is to support A Drug Prevention Strategy for Canada’s Youth and reduce illicit drug use by Canadian youth between the ages of 10-24. Xperiment.ca is the first initiative developed by CCSA in consultation with key partners from MYC. CCSA has a legislated mandate to provide national leadership and evidence-informed analysis and advice to mobilize collaborative efforts to reduce alcohol - and other drug-related harms. This will be the anchor from which all future MYC projects and campaigns evolve. This is an innovative drug prevention website for youth; a safe place for youth to learn about the negative effects of drugs.
