Norbert Georget

Thursday afternoon, PCS was fortunate to have guest speaker, Norbert Georget discuss his experiences as a paramedic to the Grade 6 to 12s. The focus of Georget's talk is the effects of drinking and driving as he has personally faced the tragic consequences of this action. He related many encounters he has had working ambulance and showed fairly graphic slides to go with the stories to get his point across. His message also included harmful effects of drugs and a stunning dramatization of how texting while driving can ruin lives. Georget encourages feedback from the students as to what they want to see in his presentation.

Georget tells students he will do anything he can to get his message across to not drink and drive and make responsible choices. More information is available at Georget's website.
