ANTI-NARCOTICS DISPLAY OPENS IN TSUEN WAN
A special anti-narcotics exhibition opened in the New Territories
satellite tom of Tsuen Wan today.
The week-long exhibition forms part of a pilot scheme being held

displays, has been specially designed to educate a target audience of
45,000 students aged between 12 and 15.
Backing up this important aspect of the programme is a special
survey designed to gauge the overall drug knowledge of people in the
Tsuen Wan district.
Information gathered in the survey, which is being carried out by
market research teans, will be used by ACAN to formulate plans for major
campaigns in the future.
liany groups have co-operated to stage the anti-narcotics
exhibition, which is being held in the Princess Alexandra Community Centre
in Tai Ho Road.
They include the Royal Hong Kong Police Narcotics Bureau, the
Preventive Service, the Society for the Aid and Rehabilitation of Drug
Addicts and the Social Welfare Department.
Two of the exhibits feature works that won the top two prizes in
a special anti-narcotics display competition held between schools in the
Teuen Wan district.
