The Prescott-Russell Racing Against Drugs committee would like to invite you to their Racing Against Drugs activity this week.
Racing against drugs is a bilingual community-based drug and alcohol awareness program which employs the sport of racing to capture the attention of Grade 6 students. The program demonstrates the benefits of a drug and alcohol free lifestyle and offers various alternatives to students by teaching them the required skills to say no to drugs and alcohol.
The program consists of a number of pit stops which are set up in a circular fashion. Representatives from various agencies use the pit stops to explain to students the effects drugs and alcohol has on their body while under the influence of an impairing substance as well as enlightening them about healthy lifestyle choices.
Come and see it for yourself, meet the students, volunteers and the organizers.
See attached schedule of days and times of schools attending. See also the media guide attached where you will find a description of the pit stops of our race.
