Starting Friday night, Operation Red Nose will be available to drive impaired motorists safely home in 102 communities across the country, five of which are in Saskatchewan. Some 50,000 dedicated volunteers will soon hit the road until Dec. 31 ready for a memorable 35th annual safe ride campaign. Together with Saskatchewan Government Insurance, the provincial sponsor, Operation Red Nose invites Saskatchewanians to put on the red vest or request a ride, in an effort to help make the Holiday Season a safe time of celebrations for everyone.
The Red Nose mobile app: the way to go this Holiday Season!
Available for free on the App Store and Google Play, Operation Red Nose’s mobile app offers many useful options. With its geo-localization feature, it provides the phone number and hours of operation of the closest headquarters. The application, powered by SGI, also offers the possibility to program an alarm during the evening, letting one know that it’s time to call Operation Red Nose for a safe ride home.
Another good reason to call Operation Red Nose
Since its creation in 1984, Operation Red Nose has redistributed 100% of the client donations received during its annual road safety campaign. Each year, 1.5 million dollars are raised by volunteers, and redistributed to local organizations hosting the safe ride home service and supporting youth and amateur sports in their community.
