We are reminded about the dangers of impaired and distracted
driving during the holiday season. But while there may be more
focus on the issue at this time of year, it is a year-round
problem, and we can all do our part to help keep our roadways and
our loved ones safe.
Many people look forward to this time of year. It's a chance
to reunite with family and friends at home. There are also seasonal
social events and celebrations. We all need a release, especially
in this time of a seemingly ceaseless pandemic. Your celebration
might include alcohol or cannabis but, whatever you do, remember to
do it safely and responsibly.
Even though we have made significant strides in reducing
impaired driving incidents in recent years, it remains the leading
criminal cause of death and injury in Canada, according to the
Department of Justice. Thanks to the heroic efforts of such
organizations as Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD), more people
understand the senseless tragedy
