Hugh MacDonald, MLA

D.A.R.E.

D.A.R.E.(Drug Abuse Resistance Education) is a comprehensive prevention education program designed to equip school children with skills to recognize and resist social pressures to experiment with tobacco, alcohol, other drugs and violence. This unique program utilizes uniformed law enforcement officers to teach a formal curriculum to students in a classroom setting. D.A.R.E. gives special attention to fifth and sixth grade students to prepare them for entry into intermediate & high school, where they are most likely to encounter pressure to use drugs.

On Saturday May 9, 2009, I was privileged to attend and address the attendees of a rally which was organized by the Friends of Medicare. Hundreds of passionate health care advocates descended on the Alberta legislature grounds. They were there to fight for the maintenance and improvement of publicly funded health care in this province. It is something which I wholeheartedly believe in and I admire all those who attended for their involvement in this debate.
