The Red Ribbon Campaign was launched on Wednesday at the Ottawa City Hall. Police forces are teaming up with Mother's Against Drunk Driving (MADD) to try and prevent drunk-driving related tragedies on the roads.
We're starting to see an increase in the number of charges.” “So far this year we've had 748 impaired related charges,” said Ottawa Police inspector John Mbakulo. It’s part of a campaign designed to raise awareness to promote sober driving over the holiday season as the amount of charges laid by police relating to drunk driving have been increasing. You may see red ribbons and red ribbon car decals on vehicles across the city starting today.
