As Halloween festivities draw near, MADD Canada has reminded Canadians of the critical need to drive sober. The organization highlights that this time of year can be particularly hazardous, with children and families out trick-or-treating. According to MADD Canada, every year, hundreds of Canadians are killed, and thousands are injured in incidents related to impaired driving due to alcohol, cannabis, and other drugs. These incidents are entirely preventable, and the organization emphasizes the importance of planning ahead for a safe night. MADD's message is clear: ensure that transportation is arranged before heading out to enjoy Halloween, either through designated drivers or using ride-sharing options. By staying vigilant and responsible, communities can help minimize the risks associated with impaired driving during the holiday season.
