    Cst Stephanie Myers says some people are turning seemingly innocent ways of celebrating into potentially dangerous and illegal acts – the riskier the behaviour, the more points awarded.

    The last day of school for most is June 25th, but for some senior students, it’s graduation time. The RNC is reminding parents and young people about the potential dangers that come with grad parties. This can also include games, like scavenger hunts, that have become part of the celebration. Cst Stephanie Myers says some people are turning seemingly innocent ways of celebrating into potentially dangerous and illegal acts – the riskier the behaviour, the more points awarded. She says it’s also a criminal offence to encourage or instruct others to commit these acts. The RNC is monitoring closely and enforcement action will be taken in cases where an offence has occurred.
