MIRABEL, Quebec, June 23, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- With pandemic-related restrictions starting to ease in many areas, and with the St. Jean-Baptiste holiday upon us, MADD Canada is calling on everyone to help keep roads safe by planning ahead for a sober ride home.
“As things start to return to normal, and as people make their St. Jean-Baptiste holiday plans, we want to remind everyone that driving impaired is never worth the risk,” said MADD Canada National President Jaymie-Lyne Hancock. “We can celebrate while also keeping one another safe. Please make the commitment to never drive impaired.”
