Operation Red Nose had a successful first weekend of the season in Prince George.
The organization delivered 126 safe rides home over Friday and Saturday nights.
On Friday, Nov. 30, 65 volunteers — including 14 road teams — provided 44 rides, despite there being a technical issue with the phone lines, travelling 1,159 km.
Then on Saturday, Dec. 1, 76 volunteers — including 18 road teams — provided 82 rides, travelling a total of 2,433 km.
Operation Red Nose will be out again providing safe rides home on the weekend of Dec. 7 and 8, so if you need a ride next weekend call them at 250-962-7433 between 9 p.m. to 3 a.m.
Operation Red Nose is a free and confidential designated driving service where a team of road volunteers will pick you up and drive you home safely in your own vehicle.
The service is available within the city of Prince George to any person that does not feel fit to drive their own vehicle, as long as they have a vehicle at the time the service is requested.
The service is offered by donation with the proceeds going back into the community for organizations dedicated to youth.
