Abstract
Description
The National Symposium on Language was held at the Morris J. Wosk Centre for Dialogue at Simon Fraser University in Vancouver on January 31, 2006. The symposium was funded and hosted by the Centre for Addictions Research of BC, the BC Provincial Health Services Authority, BC Ministry of Health, and Health Canada. The symposium involved individuals from across Canada in a day of dialogue on issues of language related to substance use. The dialogue was recorded, and later transcribed. The transcription was then analysed and used in the preparation of a first draft of this paper. The authors wish to thank all the participants and the funding partners for their contribution in helping to shape the National Framework for Action.
