The Dauphin Ride Program, also known as Reducing Impaired Driving Everywhere, will not be operating this Christmas season because of health and safety concerns associated with Covid-19.
Normally this locally based program operates weekends in December and on New Year’s Eve.
The purpose of the program is to provide safe transportation for individuals, after an evening of celebration involving alcohol and or cannabis.
Organizers of Ride say that going forward with the program at this time would be too high of a risk for both volunteers and passengers.
They would also like to encourage all individuals this Christmas not to drink and drive, and to arrange for safe, sober transportation.
