Getting the Message Out!


Drinking and driving kills, maims and changes lives forever.

In my 28 years in emergency services I have been at far to many collisions caused by impaired drivers resulting in deaths, permanent injuries and never ending pain for family members. We must continue to educate youth, stop friends / family from driving while impaired, and call the police when we see an impaired driver.
Impaired driving is a crime! It is the leading cause of criminal death in Canada.

Attached is a link to a very dramatic public education video from Australia.

And here is a link from a documentary that we were able to have a small part in assisting - After The Crash. This documentary follow ups on the impacts of actual crashes caused by impaired driving.
