Operation Red Nose’s road safety campaign took place in 74 host communities across Canada from November 25^th to December 31^st.  With a mission to make roads safer during the holiday season the organization managed to mobilize almost 23 thousand volunteers in the country who, by joining forces, were able to provide 26,412 motorists and their passengers with a safe ride home. In Manitoba, 1448 people braved winter conditions to provide 1873 safe rides to their fellow citizens.

The Founder of Operation Red Nose Jean-Marie De Konnick says Operation Red Nose is an initiative provided to the community by the community. She noted a lot of preparation goes into the campaign and challenges to put teams on the road are numerous. She adds without the dedication of thousands of volunteers, this unusual idea back in 1984, could not have aspired to such consistent success year after year and I want to thank these generous people from the bottom of my heart.
