Digital Archiving Completed by the Ethnography Lab, A University of Toronto Anthropology Initiative and Produced in Collaboration with David Perlman/Wholenote Media Inc between July-December 2015. <strong>Nov</strong>ember <strong>1991</strong> .Kensington ., Ma~ke~ ; Drum, page fifteen Update from St. Stephen's Drug Free Arcade by Kate Scowen .The Drug-Free Arcade is going strong in it's second year and we have been busy with a variety of programs this fall. The "Girls Only" group is still meeting on Wednesdays from 3:30- 5:30pm. and we are currently organizing the Anti-Drug Logo Competition for youth 12 and under. Every Thursday night (6:30-9:00pm.) is movie night at the Arcade for youth 13 to 18. Drop by and watch a movie with us. AIDS Awareness Week has just passed and there were a varietx of activities held at the Arcade. For youth 12 and under we held and AIDS workshop and a poster competition. For youth 13 to 18 we held a workshop and information session. We also set up information booths at two local schools and provided workshops for a grade 7 and a 8 class. We ended AIDS Awareness Week with an open house at the Arcade on Saturday, Oct. 12th which the girls group ran. Unfortunately participation was low but we will be better prepared for next year! Drug Awareness Week is almost here (<strong>Nov</strong>ember 18th to 22nd) and we are already planning our activities. On Tuesday the 19th we will be holding a modelling .. clay competition for youth 12 and under. We will provide the clay and will ask the youth to create a character . who shows what drug abuse can do to your body and/or how it can make you feel. The staff at the Arcade have been working on tWo very exciting projects, one of which is the Young Women's Recreation/Advocacy Project. We have sent out grant proposals to a variety . of funding sources to help us get this project off the ground. Should funding be made available this project will ensure the enhancement and expansion of young women's social recreational programming throughout the City of Toronto. It will provide educational workshops and seminars for both young women · and youth workers to help them overcome the barriers which keep young women from participating at their local community/recreation centres . (ie. safety issues and family responsibilities). As well, it will ensure the continuation of the Young Women's Days which began in <strong>1991</strong>. The second project is a Drug/ AIDS game which is already under way. Allan is developing a focus group of youth to design, implement' and promote the final product. Ideally'\it will be made available to educational institutions, community centres and even to the general public to be used as a tool to tackle the fears and misconceptions youth hold about AIDS and drug abuse. If you are 13 to 18 years of age and would like to be a part of this project please call Allan at 920-8980. • • • • • • OUR HOURS: Monday (3:30-5:30pm.) youth 12 and under Tuesday (3:30-5:30- pm.) youth 12 and under Tuesday (6:30-9:00- pm.) youth 13 to 18 Wednesday (3:30- 5:30pm.)
