     From tomorrow (November 14) onwards, the opening hours of the Hong Kong Jockey Club Drug InfoCentre (DIC) will be adjusted to 10am to 6pm from Tuesdays to Sundays (including public holidays). The DIC will be closed on Mondays (except public holidays) and the first two days of the Lunar New Year.
      
     Located at the roof floor of the Low Block of the Queensway Government Offices, the DIC is the first permanent anti-drug educational exhibition centre in Hong Kong. Various multimedia facilities and devices are installed in the DIC to educate visitors on the harmful effects of drug abuse, including interactive games and an imaging device that demonstrates the adverse effects of drugs on different parts of the body.
      
     In view of the "space oil" abuse situation and to raise public awareness on this topic, a new area dedicated to "space oil" is set up at the DIC with videos, publications and exhibition panels displaying the harms of "space oil".
      
     The DIC will continue to open to the public for free after the change in opening hours. In addition to permanent exhibitions, members of the public can participate in guided tours and regular free anti-drug activities, including anti-drug and positive lifestyle workshops, anti-drug talks, parental talks, parent-child workshops and thematic exhibitions. Details and up-to-date information about these activities are on the website of the DIC (www.druginfocentre.hk/tc/index.html). Enquiries can be made through email at hkjcdic@sb.gov.hk or by calling 2867 2935 during opening hours.
