MADD Canada will be visiting Weyburn Wednesday. They will be holding an open house presentation at the Salvation Army. Their goal is to educate Weyburn about impaired driving, with the potential of having more involvement in the community.

"MADD Canada's mission is to stop impaired driving and to support victims of this violent crimes," says Michelle Okere, MADD Regional Manager for Saskatchewan. "We have partnered with the local police there for their 'This Rides On Us' campaign so it's been a really good opportunity for us to get into the community and we definitely see interest in getting involved."

MADD wants to be more present in the community and hopefully partner more with the Weyburn Police on check stops, presentations at schools and awareness fundraisers.

MADD is currently holding their Red Ribbon Project, which is an awareness campaign around the holiday season. The Weyburn Prairie Sky Co-op has red ribbons and more information. Wearing a ribbon shows your support and promise to not drink and drive.

"We actually train victim services volunteers to provide victim support to those who have lost loved ones, and that's really huge and very important in the smaller communities," says

MADD invites people to come out and get involved in the fight to end impaired driving and to help change the culture around drinking and driving.

The open house starts at 6:00 p. m. Wednesday, November 29th.
