Red Cliffs and Irymple Lions clubs have donated $400 towards re-printing the Project Ice Mildura banner to be placed on the back of the Sunraysia Bus Lines number 11 bus.

Sunraysia Bus Lines then stepped up and offered to foot the cost of the banner on display for the next six months.

Project Ice Mildura focuses on drug education, prevention and treatment strategies and involves government and non-government agencies and stakeholders.

Project Ice co-ordinator Rebecca Alderton said there had been about 80 Project Ice information sessions since they started in October, with the program reaching about 3000 people across the region.

“It’s just fantastic they have supported the program and shows the community support that’s alive in this region,” Ms Alderton said.

The Lions members agreed the prevalence of ice in the community was at a critical point, and praised the education program.

Some of them said they had encountered people on ice rages during their work.

“We saw there was a problem with ice and drugs in the community, so that’s why we came up with the idea to support it,” Red Cliffs Lions Club president Tom Leach said.
