Dear Editor;

A new Narcotics Anonymous meeting has been established in Calgary.  The new meeting is described as a “special interest” meeting, and is called “Equality In Recovery.”  It is specifically an attempt to reach out to members of the gay/lesbian/bisexual/trans-gender community (and their “supportive friends”) who struggle with drug addiction and who have a desire to stop using.
In establishing this new meeting we are determined to offer a safe and secure atmosphere for “open sharing” and recovery from addiction.  We view addiction as a serious health concern in our community.  Meetings will go for 2 hours with a 20 minute “fellowship” break, and will take place every Friday evening commencing at 7pm at the Sheldon Chumir Centre (3rd floor meeting room).  The first meeting occurred on Friday, March 19th.

We appreciate your assistance in bringing this matter to the attention of your readers. 

Thank you,
- Mike S
