Opération Nez Rouge launches another holiday season
Annual anti-drunk driving campaign expects to hit 2 millionth ride tomorrow
Holiday party goers take note: Opération Nez Rouge officially hits the streets tonight.
For the 32nd year, the volunteer service will offer a drive home for you and your vehicle if you've had too much to drink.
Nez Rouge launched in Quebec City in 1984 and now operates in 63 communities in Quebec. The service expects to hit its two millionth ride tomorrow.
Donations are encouraged for the ride, but organizers stress it's not required and people should still call even if they have no cash to give.
Nez Rouge is available from 9 p.m. to 3:30 a.m. from Sunday night to Wednesday and from 7 p.m. to 3:30 a.m. Thursday to Saturday. After Dec. 20, the service starts at 9 p.m. every day of the week.
To request a ride, you call or text the service. Nez Rouge also has a mobile app which allows you to see the wait time in each community.
