Racing against drugs in Niagara Falls

The Optimist hall in Niagara Falls has taken on a racing atmosphere this week.

It’s all part of the annual Racing Against Drugs program. The program is to drive home the message to grade five students about the dangers of drugs and alcohol.

The students make 12 pit stops where they hear drug-free messages from police, fire, paramedic and public health officials.

The program runs through Friday.
