Land-Based QuitCore
Ready to make a change in your nicotine use?
Start your journey with the QuitCore Land-Based Program to reduce and/or quit your commercial tobacco use.
Fall October 17-19, 2025
Join the Otipemisiwak Métis Government Health Department at Métis Crossing for the Land-Based QuitCore Program. In partnership with Alberta Health Services, find the tools and strategies you need to change your nicotine habits.
Learn through guided sessions on topics such as:
- Importance, Confidence, and Readiness
- Physical Dependence
- Identifying & Coping with Triggers
- Recognizing & Responding to Stress
- Building your support system and resources
- And much more.
During the sessions, you will also take part in cultural activities to help enhance your learning experience. You will have the opportunity to connect with others on a similar path while enjoying activities such as a bush walk, hydroponic garden tour, making a traditional tobacco pouch, and participating in archery.
Attendance is mandatory for the entire weekend to be eligible for a $500 Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT) benefits card. If any portion is missed, you will not be eligible for the $500.
