Operation Nez-Rouge for a safe ride home

As the festive season approaches volunteers for Nez-Rouge (Operation Red Nose) are already preparing their teams for another safe post Christmas party escort service. This unique program is dedicated against drinking and driving and this year celebrates its 25th year of service in Laval. Operation Nez-Rouge will provide a volunteer driving service between December 3rd and 31st to all drivers who have been drinking or who do not feel fit to drive their own vehicle back home. The free service is available from 7 p.m. to 3 a.m. but donations are accepted and will be returned to Laval's minor sports associations.

Sports Laval, a nonprofit corporation, will organize the service for the 12th year in a row in the Laval and lower Laurentides regions. The operation is now recruiting volunteers to fill different positions, including drivers.

To show their appreciation for the volunteers Voyages Vasco de Laval has offered a contest offering a $1,500 travel voucher as a prize which will be awarded at the volunteer appreciation evening.
