Campaign aimed at discouraging | youth from dropping out of echesl

Pierre H. Cadieux, Minister of State for Youth, Fitness‘ and Amateur Sport, announced Tuesday a national campaign aimed at discouraging young, people from dropping out of’

high school. The campaign’ is 5

part of the five year Stay-in- School initiative, which was inaugurated in February 1990.

“Canada is currently faced with a 30 per cent high school dropout rate, the highest of all industrialized countries,” said the Minister,

Studies indicate that Canadi- ans are not generally aware of

\, the extent or gravity of the high \school dropout issue or what

‘they can do about it. This cam-

paign will raise awareness amongst youth, parents and oth- ers.and offer thems ome con- crete information about the realities of the job market and the benefits of staying in school.

As of Tuesday, the televi- sion advertising spots will be broadcast across the country for a period of five weeks.

The ad features a young pei- son dealing with the realities of searching for work witho' a high school education:

The Stay-in-School initiative is spearheaded by the federal government and is designed to promote collective effort Canadi- ans everywhere to develop solu- tions to the dropout problem. . + st

Greenpeace started up on Sept. 15, 1971, when activists from Vancouver sailed an 85-foot hal- ibut boat to Amchitka, Alaska, to protest an underground U.S. nuclear bomb test.

Tt has become an Amsterdam- based organization with five mil- lion members and annual revenues of $150 million.

And its far-flung activities range from a hospital in the Ukraine for child victims of the Chemobyl nuclear disaster to sav- ing Brazilian rainforests.

Greenpeace's 20th birthday will be celebrated in Vancouver Saturday with a concert featuring British folk-rock star Billy Bragg and the Vancouver rock group Chilliwack, the group that peformed the first benefit concert to raise money for the Amchitka voyage. Guest of honor will be Walter Sisulu, deputy general sec- retary of the African National Congress, who spent 25 years in jail with Nelson Mandela before being released in 1989.

But founding crewmember Paul Watson, 40, who left the organization in 1977, is not on the guest list.
