Ontario Provincial Police are reminding revellers to be safe during the holiday season, warning the annual Festive RIDE campaign is watching for impaired drivers.
Superior East OPP Constable Trevor Tremblay Reminds the campaign involves all police services across the province, intended to tackle alcohol or drug impaired driving with an increased police presence on local roads.
OPP say 56 people were killed in alcohol or drug-related collisions on OPP-patrolled roads last year, and emphasize that - every day - an average of four Canadians are killed and 175 injured in impairment-related crashes.
