A Tradition That Leaves a Lasting Impression!
16th Operation Red Nose Campaign in Saskatchewan
It is with enthusiasm that the Operation Red Nose 16th annual safe ride campaign has been launched Saskatchewan today. True to its mission of safety and solidarity, this free volunteer service has enabled millions of people to get home safe during the holiday season over the past few decades. From November 29th to December 31st, the host organizations in Prince Albert, Saskatoon, and The Battlefords, will be offering their safe ride service, once again reinforcing the community spirit that characterizes this landmark initiative. In Canada, nearly 70 local host organizations will deploy the annual campaign in 7 provinces.
Memorable Evenings for Volunteers
Thousands of volunteers impatiently await the first night of operation to proudly put on the famous red vest and provide safe rides to numerous motorists through this extraordinary and festive outreach.

In addition, the campaign allows you to support local youth or amateur sport organizations, since all donations are turned over to such organizations.

The Power of Volunteering
“As Operation Red Nose begins its 41st annual campaign in the country, the importance of our mission remains clear. And without the unwavering commitment of our volunteers, the true pillars of our organization, that mission could not be fulfilled. Together, we play a crucial role in improving road safety, year after year, by providing a safe ride service that saves lives and raises awareness on the dangers of impaired driving” says Jean-Marie De Koninck, Founding President of Operation Red Nose.
SGI: Committed to Road Safety

Their hard work helps people enjoy the holidays and get home safe, and that’s a win for everyone.”
