Linda, a few years ago I coordinated the In the Driver's Seat program and
developed the program manual for the (pre-amalgamation) Etobicoke Health
Department. The program challenged area high schools to develop their own
safe driving program incorporating anti-impaired driving messages.  The
manual may still be in existence and may help/give you some ideas. I also
worked with Ontario Students Against Impaired Driving and developed their
manual for schools. The OSAID manual may be harder to come by now - it had a
lot of ideas for fundraisers, using anti-impaired driving messages, for
schools.  I have copies of both manuals on file - feel free to call me if
you get stuck.

Subject: School Challenges


Good day,

I am working with a community and school coalition on a fundraising
initiative to bring HEROES to Huron County.  Our intention is to get six
school communities involved in by issuing a fundraising challenge (between
schools and within schools - grade to grade).  Our challenge would like to
involve/include injury prevention/substance abuse prevention messages.  The
challenge is a means to get the students thinking about safety and the key
messages - Get Trained, Look First, Buckle Up, Wear the Gear, Drive Sober -
and increase ownership of the actual program.

Any suggested activities/school challenges that anyone has been involved
with would be most helpful.  If there are suggestions/ideas/existing
challenges already developed, we would appreciate the opportunity to not
have to "reinvent the wheel", as time is always hard to come by.

Feel free to email me at [log in to unmask] if you wish to forward your
ideas.
Thanks, and have a great day!
Linda
