Local and regional students -- sometimes by the thousands -- have in recent years selected one day in June on which to skip school and head to Sandbanks Provincial Park.
This year's event is scheduled to happen today. "The youths come equipped to spend the day on the beach, often attempting to smuggle in alcohol to be consumed during their stay," said an OPP news release. "Alcohol is prohibited on the beach and the majority of the teens are underage.
"Each year, park wardens and a team of OPP officers from Prince Edward County and surrounding areas are deployed to this event to conduct RIDE checks at each entry point to the park, this year is no exception," it said.
