Every year, hundreds of Canadians are killed, and thousands more are injured in crashes involving alcohol, cannabis, and other drugs. Each of these losses is a preventable tragedy.

 

For Rebecca’s parents, Connie and Mark, and sister Victoria, the holidays are a painful reminder of their loss, marked by an empty chair at the table. On October 3, 2021, 22-year-old Rebecca was on her way home when her car was hit head-on by an impaired driver. She was killed instantly, leaving an irreplaceable void in the lives of everyone who knew her. Rebecca was kind-hearted and a fierce animal lover. With her death, the world is less bright.

 

“The pain of losing Rebecca is with us every second. Impaired driving didn’t just take her life — it took a piece of our hearts. We want Canadians to feel the weight of this loss and make the choice to never drive impaired.”

 

Pledging to never drive impaired is a vital step toward ensuring the safety of our roads and communities. By joining Project Red Ribbon, we collectively contribute to a safer holiday season and a brighter future, reminding everyone that the responsibility to prevent impaired driving begins with each one of us.
