From Berry Blast to Mango Crush, sweet names for v**e flavours disguise their danger.

Canada has some of the highest teen va**ng rates in the world. Recent survey data shows that more than one in five grade 11 students v**e and over one in four Canadian grade 12 students v**e.

Va**ng is especially dangerous for young people, increasing the risk of heart disease and stroke.

That’s why Heart & Stroke is calling on the government to protect youth by banning v**e flavours.

We are thinking of hosting a summer day camp for teens (13-17yo) who are interested in first responders and the military. Each day would have physical exercise, team building, leadership development, learning first aid (actually getting a Standard First Aid Certificate from the Red Cross) and have a presentation from one of the above services. Would your child be interested? Comment below or give us ideas 😊💪
