The Holiday Counter Attack campaign targeting impaired driving has begun. Powell River RCMP and Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) are working together with local businesses to urge drivers to be responsible during the holiday season and plan for a safe ride home.

Any amount of alcohol or drug can affect your judgement, reaction time and coordination. If you drink, don’t drive and plan ahead to get home safely by assigning a designated driver or arranging for a safe ride if your holiday festivities include alcohol or drugs.

Powell River Taxi will operate 7 days a week until midnight in December and can be reached at 604-483-3666.

Extra police officers will be out on the road looking for impaired drivers and removing them from our roadways. Sober designated drivers will be recognized with gift bags donated by MADD or coupons for a complimentary coffee or tea donated by River City Coffee and McDonalds.
