Oceanside Mounties waving checkered flag on grad ‘death races’
PARKSVILLE — While graduating secondary students in Oceanside appear to be enjoying an annual tradition, local Mounties say some grad games are no laughing matter.
Cpl. Jesse Foreman said local scavenger hunt challenges, coined death races, have become increasingly high risk and involve illegal activity.
Foreman said their detachment has obtained lists of challenges already done in Qualicum Beach and ones which could happen this weekend in Parksville.
