Every year around this time, local high school students like to swap the classroom for a spot at the beach.
Prince Edward County OPP have announced that they will have a strong presence at Sandbanks Provincial Park today through until Sunday.
Tomorrow also coincides with a P.A. day across local public school boards.
Prince Edward County OPP have issued the following reminders:
Officers will be strictly enforcing:
- Underage drinking offences under the Liquor Licence and Control Act
- Open liquor and public intoxication violations
- Impaired driving (alcohol and drug-related)
- Graduated Licensing System (G1/G2) conditions, including the zero alcohol requirement for G2 drivers
Charges, roadside suspensions, and vehicle impoundments may result from violations.
Police are reminding everyone attending to make safe and responsible choices:
- Do not drink and drive – plan a sober ride home
- Know your limits and look out for your friends
- Stay safe near the water – alcohol and swimming can be a dangerous combination
- Follow park rules and respect other visitors
The OPP is working in partnership with park staff and emergency services to ensure a safe weekend for all.
