DARE PROGRAM SUBJECT OF TALK SHOW

Halton Regional Police Service's Drug Abuse Resistance Education (DARE) 
program will be the next topic of discussion on PeopleSpeak In A Place 
Called Halton.

The TV Cogeco program, hosted by regional Chairman Joyce Savoline, will be 
broadcast on Wednesday (Dec. 15) at 7 p.m. in Burlington and Oakville and 
5:30 p.m. in Halton Hills and Milton.

Representatives from DARE will join Savoline to talk about the successful 
program that is taught to Grade 6 students throughout Halton Region.

In addition, Savoline will be looking at how the program is presented to 
students in the classroom.

"Our research shows that education plays a critical role in whether or not 
children will experiment with drugs and alcohol," she said.

"The DARE program is instrumental in teaching children at a critical age 
about how to make responsible choices."

Each 30-minute segment of PeopleSpeak In A Place Called Halton provides 
viewers with a snapshot of one of the region's services, programs or issues 
and examines the role Halton Region plays within the community.
