Operation Red Nose Prince George has issued a call for more volunteers to work New Year's Eve.

Only 16 teams are signed up for that night which is the busiest of the holiday season.

"That number needs to be at least doubled to meet the demand for rides we expect," said Andrea Johnson, ORN spokesperson. "It means at least another 48 volunteers are needed, whether they've only volunteered with us one night or are former clients."

The deadline to drop off applications to the Prince George RCMP is Wed., Dec. 19. The application, which includes a criminal record check, is available online at www.ornpg.ca

Operation Red Nose is organized by the Rotary Club of Prince George - Nechako in partnership with ICBC and the Prince George RCMP.

ORN will have 18 teams out on the road both Friday and Saturday nights this weekend to provide safe rides home to party-goers.

To get a ride, call 250-962-7433 between 9 p.m.-3 a.m. Clients must have a vehicle with valid B.C. license plates.

All donations go towards youth and amateur sport organizations in Prince George.
