STUDENTS TO LEARN DANGERS OF DRUGS, ALCOHOL

Local Grade 5 students will learn about the dangers of drugs and 
alcohol at Memorial Gardens this week as the Racing Against Drugs 
program returns to the city.

The interactive program, which kicks off today and runs until 
Thursday, includes various presentations by community partners about 
drugs and alcohol abuse prevention.

The program, developed by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, also 
features a large race track to help demonstrate the importance of 
staying in control.

The program is sponsored and organized by a local steering committee 
which includes the RCMP, Ontario Ministry of Transportation, North 
Bay Parry Sound District Health Unit, area school boards, North Bay 
Fire Department, North Bay Police Service, Nipissing chapter of MADD 
and North Bay Focus.
