"These individuals, and thousands of other volunteers across the country, dedicate their time and expertise to help make our communities safer," said Denise Dubyk, MADD Canada National President. "We are truly thankful for, and inspired by, the contributions they have made to addressing the problem of impaired driving and supporting those affected by this violent and senseless crime."

Ms. Dubyk urged all Canadians to help make this Thanksgiving weekend free from impaired driving crashes by planning ahead for a safe ride home.
