Do like they do in some cities in the States. Grad night is Saturday and is MANDATORY ALL Grads do a all night camping DRY Grad in their schools, using buses to transport the students to various planned activities throughout the night and then drop the kids off at home around noon on Sunday.. By then they will be too tired to even think of going partying. All the teachers are involved and have some parents as chaperones.. Really does wonders.. Then on sunday night, the families have their celebration with the Grad..

It’s done here too. Actually, most grad classes have something very similar. Problem is, your theory does not work. The grads who want the traditional drinkfest go out the following weekend.

What a load… speaking about safety how about lets get some road lines going on our local highways. They won’t paint them until September again this year. Yet almost all corners have no center line anymore… take Tamarack Lake for example just east of Bednesti, its one of the highest speed corners on the highway to Vanderhoof and it has no center-line the entire corner for probably a whole kilometer.

How does that help for safety, and how much does it cost to run a truck down the highway with some yellow paint as soon as the snow is off the highway in the spring, rather than waiting until fall?

I just find it ridiculous that the small amount of money that could be spent to have some real road safety… has to go through a committee to form a committee to go out and study the condition of the none existent road markings in order to make a recommendation as to when they can fund said road lines, only to have delays in tendering the contract, and then of course we have to wait for the winning bidder to work their way up north, which never happens until the fishing is good and the summer bugs have died down… meanwhile we get someone funded by ICBC to come up here and discuss road safety with us all expenses paid no questions asked.

Now all those bad drivers in Prince George should vanish and we will have some great ideas presented on Fridays Free for All.
Cheers

I am confused by this dry grad concept.
It is my understanding that the legal age to consume alcohol is 19 or over.
High school students graduate before they are 18.
That means there is at least one (1) year between graduation and the legal privilege of consuming or possessing alcohol.

How can there be anything but a dry grad?
Is there a special discrete dispensation to grads?
Where and how do the grads obtain alcohol?
Is it not a chargeable offense to supply or provide alcohol to a minor?

Why is high school such a big deal? You have just qualified to attend post-secondary, which in my mind is a more important graduation.
Every body as to go to high school. Only those that make the choice go to post-secondary.

Eagleone How true about line painting. I just called the person responsible for line painting and complained. If anyone else would like to call the # is 250-565-6185.–for highways.

Loki, are you living in a cave? High school kids of all ages will get liquor, whether it is from an older friend, sibling or whoever. Dry grad is a farce and as said previously, just another party for the kids. I had 3 that went through the school system here and they did the same thing. They went to dry grad and the next weekend they went to wet grad. It’s just what they do.
