RCMP & Me

I feel it is my duty to say: Kids, say NO to drugs!
Recognize this notebook?  Recognize the tiny Asian girl with pursed lips?  For some of you, yes, you would know this. 

In 1992 the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, O Division (Drug Prevention Team), had a Drug Awareness project and needed five little RCMP’s to grace the cover of their notebooks.
  I was one of them. 

This notebook was distributed across Canada to most elementary schools in hopes that students would say no to drugs.  The campaign had two versions of this notebook as well as posters.


I forgot about this until today, when my co-worker asked me why I was on her son’s notebook.
  What a blast from the past!
