Things were very intense for students on Wednesday morning as they witnessed a crash extraction demonstration as part of the P.A.R.T.Y Program (Prevent Alcohol and Risk Related Trauma in Youth). Grade nine students from Hilltop and St. Joe's took part in the injury-prevention program that "aims to educate teens about the consequences of poor decision making in relation to risk-taking behaviours." Hilltop drama students played crash victims which included barely injured survivors, a deceased passenger thrown from the car, and a girl trapped in her passenger seat screaming for help. Students watched RCMP, EMS, and fire department personnel play their roles in the accident. Following the demo they heard heartbreaking testimony from members of Victims Services on what it's like to have to be with families who have just lost someone. This is the 16th year for the program and the hope is that it ingrains in students to be safe no matter where they are or what they do. Don't drink and drive. Wear your seat belts. Don't speed. Be safe.
