Recovery Day is an annual event, first held on September 30, 2012, which demonstrates and celebrates the ability of those with drug, alcohol and behavioral addictions to achieve long-term sobriety and live productive and healthy lives. The event was held in 12 major Canadian cities in 2013 and 25 cities in 2014. Recovery Day is organized in part by Faces and Voices of Recovery.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.facesandvoicesofrecovery.ca/ )〕 Recovery Day is next scheduled to be held in Canadian cities in September 2015.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.recoveryday.ca/#!recovery-day-cities-in-canada/c1jxp )〕 ==Origins== AnnMarie McCullough and Lorinda Strang of the Orchard Recovery Center on Bowen Island developed the concept of Recovery Day based on similar recovery advocacy movements in the United States.〔 In the US, September is officially recognized by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (a division of the United States Department of Health and Human Services) as “Recovery Month.” In order to build a strong team to lead their initiative, Lorinda and AnnMarie joined with David Berner and Chuck Doucette of the Drug Prevention Network of Canada as well as Giuseppe Ganci of the Last Door and they began planning a Canadian equivalent based on the same principle of celebrating recovery from addictions. September 30, 2012 was declared Recovery Day through an official proclamation from Vancouver Mayor Gregor Robertson. The idea of Recovery Day spread to other major Canadian cities such as Victoria where a similar event was also held in Centennial Square. Ottawa's mayor signed a similar proclamation. The following year, 12 cities hosted events. In 2014, 20 cities held Recovery Day events. Close to 30 cities held events in 2015. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Recovery Day」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
