JAMES RIVER, NS – Management at Riverside International Speedway are pleased to announce that, for the third straight year, they are working together with MADD, Antigonish Crime Prevention, and regional RCMP on June 14 at the Ron MacGillivray 150 to help educate students on how to enjoy and a safe and happy graduation.

“We are so pleased to be involved in this initiative,” said Paul McLean, general manager for Riverside International Speedway. “Growing up healthy and happy is all about making good choices so we’re hoping that by hosting this event and making learning fun we have a positive influence on the lives of teenagers, especially those who are preparing for graduation – a landmark life event with memories that last a lifetime.”

Free admission tickets for the Ron MacGillivray 150 will be distributed over the next week to all schools in the Antigonish and Port Hawksbury areas, compliments of local radio stations 98.9 xFM and 101.5 The Hawk, respectively. The tickets can be used by any student between eight and 18 years old.

While on-site students and their parents will have the chance to visit with representatives from MADD, from Antigonish Crime Prevention, and members of the RCMP. In addition, 10 lucky students will ride around the track in an RCMP cruiser during intermission (ballots will be available at the track).
