Operation Red Nose is seeking 450 volunteers to drive home revelers who have had too much to drink this holiday season.
"Our volunteers who return year after year have a great time knowing they've made a difference in the community," ORN spokesperson Andrea Johnson said. "We guarantee new volunteers will feel the same way."
Volunteers must be at least 19 years old and have a valid driver's license. They can be part of a road team of three or work behind the scenes answering phones at ORN headquarters.
Applications, which include a criminal record check form, are now available online at www.ornpg.ca. Volunteers can simply fill it out, print it out and take it, along with their driver's license, to the Prince George RCMP detachment at 450 Victoria Street.
Entering its 17th season, the free, seasonal service organized by the Rotary Club of Prince George -Nechako, in partnership with the RCMP and ICBC, allows party-goers to not only get themselves home safely, but their vehicles too.
This year, ORN will be in service over the nights of Nov. 28 and 29, Dec. 5 and 6, Dec. 12 and 13, Dec. 19 and 20 and New Year's Eve. About 15 road teams of three will be on call each night working from 9 p.m. to 3 a.m.
For more information, call volunteer co-ordinator Karen Toombs at 250-961-6465.
