As the Labour Day long weekend approaches, North Vancouver RCMP is offering students and parents some guidelines for discussions around celebrating safely in general.
Cst. Mansoor Sahak of the North Vancouver RCMP said students who have participated in grad sleep-outs are generally responsible young people enjoying the freedom that comes with growing up.
“We just want to remind them and their parents that with increased freedom comes increased responsibility,” Sahak said.
Those responsibilities include abiding by Provincial and Federal laws, Municipal bylaws, and respecting the rules of good citizenry. Although these young people now bear most of the responsibility for their conduct, it’s not absolute yet. There remains an onus on parents to continue to be a positive influence on their children, and to help them make good choices, he said.
The North Vancouver RCMP will take a protective approach on enforcement of liquor, traffic and local bylaws. There will be extra officers working throughout the Labour Day weekend in anticipation of the busy weekend.
Nothing but TROUBLE comes from this event. I know one person that came home with a broken jaw.
