The President of the Saint John Chapter of Mothers Against Drunk Driving calls the end of Operation Red Nose a shame.
The program had volunteers pick people up at holiday gatherings driving them and their vehicles home.
Raylene Wallace tells CHSJ News both M.A.D.D. and Operation Red Nose have the same goals in keeping everyone safe.
She says it’s definitely a disappointment that the service will not be available this year.
Wallace says they will still be focusing on the Red Ribbon campaign and encouraging motorists to call 911 when they see a drunk driver on the roads.
The annual M.A.D.D. Red Ribbon Tree lighting is coming up December 7th in Kings Square.
