In 1980, 44 percent of all
poisonings in British
Columbia occurred in
children aged under 14, and
of these, 56 percent were
due to prescription or non-
prescription drugs.

Two important con-
tributing factors to this
situation are, improper

storage of medication and
the hoarding of old, unused
drugs.

The pharmacy at Lions
Gate Hospital will
holding a contest in an at-
tempt to discourage the
unnecessary accumulation
of both prescription and
non-prescription products in
the home.

North Shore citizens will
be encouraged to package
up their old drugs and enter
them into a contest to be
held which closes December
4. Their old pills could win
them a dinner at a North

be

Shore Restaurant by
disposing of:
a) all products with an

expiry date on them that has
out-dated.
b) all products that have
heen left unused for longer
than one year, at any
pharmacy on the North
Shore.

A dinner for two will be
awarded:
a) To the person = sub-
mitting the greatest number
of drug containers and
contents, (compliments of
Harvest Eating House)
b) To the person = sub-
mitting the oldest container
(compliments) of Troll's
Seafood Restaurant)
c) To one entry drawn at
random from all of those
submitted (compliments of
Lions Gate Hospital)

Several years ago (1977)
when we first held this
contest it drew 77 official

entrants with 858 containers
being returned. The oldest
container was dated 1928!

‘One person alone, brought

in 64 containers. It should be
noted that hundreds more
containers were returned for
disposal only and were not
officially entered into the
contest.
