D.A.R.E. B.C. History

The Society was established over a decade ago in Prince George, BC. Since its inception over 100,000 BC school children have gone through the program, making D.A.R.E. kiR the most widely delivered youth drug prevention program in BC. Over 100 police officers teach the program each year to thousands of Grade 5 and 6 school children across British Columbia. D.A.R.E. kiR is the foundation of the RCMP's Community Prevention Education Continuum which is a community-lead, police-assisted, comprehensive drug prevention strategy encompassing youth from Kindergarten through to Grade 12.
