If you’ve had a few drinks, Operation Red Nose is ready and waiting. A volunteer will drive you home in your vehicle so you won’t endanger your own safety and that of others on the road. You’ll arrive safely – and you won’t have to find a way to retrieve your vehicle the next day.
Operation Red Nose runs every Friday and Saturday for four weeks in communities listed below, beginning November 27 (November 28 in Selkirk and Gimli). It also offers New Year’s Eve service, and some additional evenings during the holiday season. More information and detailed hours of operation are available at http://www.safetyservicesmanitoba.ca/rednose/.
Operation Red Nose is made possible in part by Manitoba Public Insurance, Safety Services Manitoba and the hundreds of volunteers who know that drinking and driving don’t mix. The service is free, but donations are gratefully accepted to support community and sport programs in the province.
