If you need an alternative way to get home after a holiday party and a bit too much to drink, Operation Red Nose has your back.
The non-profit kicked off its 28th annual road safety campaign in Burnaby today, Nov. 9 — the 10th hosted by Operation Red Nose Burnaby.
When you call the Operation Red Nose number, a team of three volunteers will come out to pick you up. Two will drive you home in your vehicle, and a third volunteer will follow in their own vehicle. "If you choose to drive impaired, you're risking losing your licence, you're going to be winding up in jail, killing someone or yourself."
All the money that gets raised in the Burnaby, Tri-Cities, New West and Ridge Meadows goes to KidSport Tri-Cities, which provides grants to families who are struggling financially to register their kids in sports.
