The Southern Georgian Bay OPP is informing area residents that officers will be extra vigilant when patrolling this weekend as prom night celebrations are set to take place at some local high schools on Friday night and in the near future.

Officers will be patrolling the area and keeping an eye out for drivers and people attending prom night events, police say.

Consuming drugs or alcohol, especially underage, and driving is preventable, police say.
