OPPPlenty of diplomas and degrees are being handed over to graduating students in the area — and North Bay cluster OPP want to make sure local grads are thinking about safety when celebrating the occasion.  Constable Carolyn Ward says don’t drink and drive, take a cab, stay the night or make arrangements for a sober person to drive and get home safely.  She says police will be monitoring bush parties to prevent unruly celebrations that have the potential for violence, mischief, risk of injury or even death. 

Ward says strict enforcement will be given to underage drinking, trespassing, property damage, drinking and driving and drug offences too.
