Celebrate your graduation — but do it responsibly.
That’s the message being sent to 2018 graduates by Vernon-North Okanagan RCMP.
“We would like to take this opportunity to not only congratulate you, but also remind you, that although we are sure you would love to invite us as your party guests, (trust us some of us are pretty great dancers), we don’t need an invitation to come,” says a media release from Cst. Kelly Brett.
The first reminders are alcohol related:
The age of majority in BC is 19 years (under 19 = a minor),
It is illegal for a minor to be found in possession of liquor,
It is illegal (for anyone) to consume alcohol in public,
It is illegal to have open liquor in a motor vehicle (including a bus or limo),
It is illegal to purchase/provide liquor to a minor,
You may be arrested for being intoxicated in a public place.
