Plant Youth Lanark:

Representatives of a group called Planet Youth Lanark, supported by the local United Way, have signed a five-year service agreement with the Icelandic Centre for Social Research and Analysis, which has helped import the data-driven Icelandic model for social change to 32 countries and more than 100 communities around the world. Lanark County has become the first Canadian community to adopt Iceland’s successful model for reducing teen addiction and other social ails.
