(Globe Newswire) Oakville, Ont. – As Canadians gear up for Halloween festivities this weekend and into next week, MADD Canada is urging everyone to prioritize safety and avoid impaired driving. Whether you’re attending parties, trick-or-treating with the family, or heading out to haunted houses, the best way to ensure everyone gets home safely is by planning ahead for a sober ride.
“Halloween should be a time of excitement and joy for children, not tragedy,” said MADD Canada National President Tanya Hansen Pratt. “With so many kids walking door-to-door, often in dark costumes, we urge everyone to be extra cautious on the roads. The best way to protect these trick-or-treaters is by making safe choices and ensuring no one is driving impaired.”
Every year, hundreds of Canadians are killed, and thousands are injured in alcohol, cannabis and/or drug-related crashes. These tragedies are entirely preventable.
Everyone can do their part to keep Halloween celebrations and roads safe by:

- Always planning ahead so you know how you are getting home safely;
- Never driving a car, boat, ATV or any other vehicle while impaired;
- Never getting into a vehicle being operated by someone who’s impaired;
- Calling 911 if you see a driver you suspect is impaired.
