An informative and emotional and hitting seminar was conducted for the Grade 12 class on Thursday. A video was shown and a number of speakers related personal experiences on the effects of drinking and driving.
The video showed the results of drinking on the liver and brain, then simulated driving while under the influence, a possible tragic result and what takes place immediately after. An addictions counsellor talked about his growing up years, followed by a personal story from a father who lost a son. Police Chief Bill Millar also talked about the prevalence of drugs and alcohol in the city and area today.
Funding for the event was supplied through the South East Sask. Association of Culture, Recreation and Sport, the South Central Health District and Sask. Lotteries.
