Kelowna RCMP are asking parents to have open discussions with their kids on the dangers of unsanctioned pre-grad parties. 

In a release to media sent Sept. 23, police say these events happen randomly throughout the school year often in unsupervised locations like in the backcountry or a private home. Without supervision, the potential for underage drinking and use of illegal drugs increases.
