Media Advisory: NL Students See Risks of Impaired Driving in New Education Program from MADD Canada and Newfoundland Labrador Liquor Corporation

OAKVILLE, Ontario, Nov. 01, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- For those who take the risk of driving after consuming alcohol or cannabis, there could well be no tomorrow. That is the hard-hitting and emotional message delivered in a new School Assembly Program from MADD Canada and generously supported by Newfoundland Labrador Liquor Corporation (NLC).

The program, titled No Tomorrow, educates students in Grades 7 – 12 about the risks and consequences of driving under the influence of alcohol, cannabis or other drugs.  

No Tomorrow’s tour of Newfoundland and Labrador schools is being highlighted with a special screening at Villanova Junior High in Conception Bay South on Monday.

Media are welcome to attend the screening and speak with special guests, students and staff.

   
Date: Monday, November 5, 2018 at 8:15 a.m. 
Location: Villanova Junior High, 2698 Topsail Road, Conception Bay South, NL 
Guests:  Darrell Smith, Manager of Marketing & Communications, Newfoundland Labrador Liquor Corporation 
  Patricia Hynes-Coates, MADD Canada National President
   

NLC generously sponsors 10 presentations to schools around the province, enabling MADD Canada to deliver the education program to thousands of students. 

No Tomorrow tells the story of bandmates Marcus, Corey, Trevor and Lee. After winning a contest to record a demo, they get an incredible chance to audition for a music school. Before their audition, Trevor has a few drinks. He is affected more than he thinks, and makes mistakes during the audition. Marcus is offered a spot at the school right away, and Corey and Lee are given an opportunity to re-apply next year. But Trevor, who was obviously impaired during the audition, is not offered a spot or chance to re-apply. The school has a zero tolerance policy for alcohol or drugs. Trevor storms off to the car. Marcus tries unsuccessfully to take the keys. Realizing he can’t stop Trevor from driving away, Marcus jumps in the car. What happens next changes all of their lives forever.

This fictional story is followed by powerful interviews with real-life victims who talk about their loved ones who were killed or seriously and permanently injured in impaired driving crashes.
