What is Leave The Pack Behind??

Leave The Pack Behind (LTPB) is a project funded in part by Health Canada the Ministry of Health and Long Term Care to provide information about smoking and appropriate support to post-secondary students at Ontario’s university and college campuses.

LTPB is a peer-to-peer project supported by college and university faculty and administers, Student Health Services, and student governments, as well as Public Health Departments across southern, central, and eastern Ontario. The project is administered through Brock University, with 12 participating university and college campuses across Ontario.
