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.
