BC Highway Patrol recognizes that the holiday season is upon us and that there are increased social events where alcohol is being served. We are reminding the public to plan ahead for these events and arrange for a Designated Driver or some other form of safe ride home.

BC Highway Patrol will be out in force throughout the South Okanagan this holiday season conducting enforcement activities and working hard to make our roads safer.
