We were thrilled to partner with the Heart and Stroke Foundation and the Canadian Cancer Society to host PEI MLAs for a breakfast this morning focused on protecting youth from the harms of commercial to***co and va**ng.

A special thank you to our presenter, Dr. Michael Chaiton, senior scientist at CAMH’s Institute for Mental Health Policy Research, for sharing his expertise and insights. We were also pleased to bring together Dr. Chaiton, Rob Cunningham from the Canadian Cancer Society, and members of our Youth Voices for Lung Health council for a meaningful discussion that dove deeper into this important issue.

Thank you to all the MLAs who joined us for an inspiring and productive morning. We look forward to continuing this momentum and advancing stronger protections for youth.

Last Friday, we said goodbye to our incredible intern, Hailey Strong

A Health Promotion student from Dalhousie University, Hailey made a meaningful impact during her time with LungNSPEI. She brought enthusiasm, professionalism, and a genuine passion for lung health to her work, especially through delivering our Youth Va**ng Awareness Days program to students across Nova Scotia, helping youth make informed decisions about their health.

Hailey, thank you for everything you’ve contributed to our team and the communities we serve. We’re so grateful to have had you with us and are excited to see where your journey takes you next!

Wishing you all the best in the future. You’ll always be part of the LungNSPEI family!
