Part of MADD Canada's multi-media school assembly program, "Shattered" will have an impact on SESS students that will, hopefully, influence their decision making in a positive way for years to come. "This presentation is part of a national campaign that wasn't easy for us to get," Substance Abuse Committee spokesman Manfred Bauer said. "This is a high tech, multi-media presentation that has proved to be a very effective way to raise awareness and provide safety strategies for youth." MADD Canada's school assembly program exposes false perceptions about alcohol, drugs, and driving that distort reality, including binge drinking, realities about impairment caused by smoking cannibis, mixing cannibis and alcohol, and accepting rides from alcohol and drug impaired drivers. The assembly is slated to begin at 9 a.m. in the senior school gym. Other events brought to SESS students by the Education on Substance Abuse Committee since 2006 include: Odd Squad Greenthumb Theatre Headlines Theatre Crystal Meth Society of B.C.
