The Gambling Awareness Program (GAP) promotes responsible gambling and explores problem gambling behaviors through public presentations and the distribution of resources. GAP has a variety of engaging presentations, interactive displays, and responsible gambling education resources that are 100% free to Saskatchewan residents.
GAP Coordinators travel across the province to deliver presentations on an array of subjects including how gambling works, risk, odds, probability, problem gambling and signs of addiction, including information on where to go for help for problem gambling services and support in Saskatchewan.
GAP is a program of the Canadian Mental Health Association, Saskatchewan Division, and receives support from the Community Initiatives Fund and the Saskatchewan Ministry of Health.
