Welcome to the Alcohol Policy Network's electronic discussion group,  The purpose of this listserv is to promote informed discussion about alcohol-related policy and programming issues in Ontario and Canada.

Our listserv has over 500 active members, including health promoters, public health nurses, policy-makers, educators, community leaders and industry representatives from across Ontario, across Canada, and beyond. At any given time there is informed discussion about emerging as well as ongoing topics relating to health and safety, alcohol regulation and control, effective prevention practice, and more. Our bi-weekly Alcohol in the News posting compiles the most relevant news articles relating to alcohol policy from over 60 news sources.

Due to our strict privacy policy, postings over three months old (including our digests and archives) are only available to listserv members. Are you new to our listserv? Take a moment to scan some posting guidelines and Frequently Asked Questions. You are also encouraged to give us feedback via our short online form. We wish to use the listserv to encourage open discussion among all participants on alcohol policy issues. Therefore, we feel that it is best to have an unmoderated list. We encourage any participant who feels a message is inappropriate for the purposes of this listserv to contact us immediately. As anyone is free to post information, it is difficult to completely protect your privacy when you post/respond to the listserv. Therefore, we have made the decision to allow only the latest three months worth of postings to remain public. The rest of the listserv archives will only be viewable by subscribers. You will be asked to log in using the email address you gave us, and your password. This is mailed to you each month. If you have any concerns or questions, please contact the Website Administrator. It is NOT our policy to share or distribute the names of our individual listserv participants with other individuals or organizations. For more detailed information, please view our Privacy Policy.
