Operation Red Nose in Burlington, Ontario.
It's that time of year again when merry-making sometimes results in tragic accidents when merry-makers don't stop to consider whether or not they should be getting behind the wheel and driving home.
Alcohol-related accidents result in thousands of deaths and injuries 
yearly. This CAN be prevented with the help of individual responsibility, inidividual vigilance and community volunteer programs, such as Operation Red Nose.
Operation Red Nose begins it's first season in Burlington this December, with the help of St. John's Ambulance and hundreds of volunteers.
The program will run in December each Friday and Saturday before Christmas from 9pm-3am.
If you are under the influence, or know someone who is, call Operation Red Nose for a free drive home.
A three person team will be dispatched to pick you up, as well as any of your passengers and your car. A driver will drive you and your passengers home while the remaining team members follow in an escort vehicle.
Call 905-634-6665 or 905-484-3467 if you need someone to drive your car home and keep our highways and roads safe this holiday season.
Operation Red Nose in Burlington, Ontario is looking for donations, corporate sponsors and volunteers to assist with the operations of this excellent community initiative. Don your Santa hat and come out to help!
