2009–2010 CCSA Annual Report 


2009–2010 Annual Report: How do you define return on investment?How do you define return on investment?

After 20 years of working at the national level to collect and analyze data and develop evidence-based, multistakeholder approaches to dealing with substance abuse, CCSA’s 2009–2010 Annual Report outlines the return on investment (ROI) the organization provides to government and Canadians.

ROI Means Impact


The health, social and economic impacts of substance abuse cost Canadian society $40 billion each year in productivity losses and direct health care and law enforcement costs. CCSA and its partners have established concrete strategies and an innovative model for collective action that will ultimately reduce health care and criminal justice costs while providing the best possible service for those in need.

But it’s the value and return on investment in the eyes of our stakeholders that really tells the story.
