On September 23, 2026, MADD Canada will hold a roadside memorial sign unveiling ceremony in Warman, Saskatchewan, to honour the memory of 11-year-old Sophie Schnurr. Sophie lost her life in a tragic impaired driving incident on December 21, 2018, while riding in her mother’s truck. The event is part of MADD Canada's ongoing efforts to raise awareness about the dangers of impaired driving and encourage community vigilance to prevent such tragedies from occurring in the future.
The memorial sign will serve as a lasting tribute to Sophie and is expected to be attended by family members, community leaders, and representatives from various organizations committed to road safety. By recognising victims of impaired driving, MADD Canada aims to foster conversations about safe driving practices and honour those who have suffered from such incidents.
The decision to hold the memorial in Warman underscores the significance of local engagement in addressing and preventing impaired driving. Events like these are crucial for communities as they not only remember those lost but also educate the public about the impacts of impaired driving on families and society as a whole.
