08:00am - 05:00pmAmongst other things, they run a program where high school students spend the day learning about the dangers of making poor choices such as distracted driving, impaired driving, etc. It's called the Durham Region P.A.R.T.Y. program (Prevent Alcohol and Risk-Related Trauma in Youth), and follows the course of a Motor Vehicle Collision. Geared towards all students in grades 10-12 but especially those anticipating getting a driver’s license soon or students who are new drivers. This program seeks to give the students a snapshot of the possible traumatic, and usually preventable, consequences of risk-related behaviours that can lead to injury.
Students learn about brain and spinal cord injury and hear from a variety of speakers including Durham Regional Police Service, Fire Services, Paramedic Services, and an injury survivor. Together they bring the students face-to-face with the reality of poor choices and emphasize ways to stay safe. See Durham Region P.A.R.T.Y. Program - Heads Up! Durham
Their next program is April 29th from 10am to 2:30pm at the Oshawa Civic. Attendees will be players from Okanagan Hockey Ontario.
This program is a vital component of the growing community effort to reduce death and injury in alcohol, drug and risk-related crashes and incidents.

Welcome to the Ajax Film Circuit! Join us for our screening of Café Daughter at the St. Francis Centre for Community, Arts and Culture.
Based on the play of the same name, and inspired by true events, Café Daughter is a coming-of-age story about Yvette Wong, a young Chinese Cree girl in 1960s Saskatchewan, who explores and embraces her Cree identity after the passing of her mother. Her journey to reconnect is further bolstered by Maggie Wolf, a part Mi’kmaq girl, who encourages her to take pride in who she is and where her family comes from. When Yvette’s ancestry is revealed, the attitudes of her fellow students and teachers soon turn to discrimination against her and her dreams of going to medical school. In the face of all of this, Yvette chooses to persevere and succeed. Rooted in the experiences of Dr. Lillian Dyck, Order of Canada, the film’s cast compose a story of inspiration and champion what is possible in overcoming adversity and forging your own path. Concessions and cash bar available.
