Racing Against Drugs. This RCMP program is offered to Grade 4-6 students in our area. Over a two-hour period, the students visit a number of "pitstops" where they take part in short interactive games to teach them about the negative impact of drugs, alcohol and tobacco. The students also have the opportunity to test their racing ability on a large race track with remote-controlled cars and a strong message on the importance of staying drug-free to perform and stay in control.

Here is a sample of the pitstops used in East Parry Sound in June 2004.

The students created some envelopes with messages which will be distributed to motorists over the next few months by the OPP doing roadside checks. Here is a sample of the messages created.
