The Government of the Northwest Territories is reminding residents to celebrate safely this holiday season and avoid impaired driving. The holidays are a time to relax, connect, and enjoy, and we want everyone to make it home safely after every celebration.

Why It Matters

Driving impaired by alcohol, cannabis, or other drugs puts everyone at risk, not just the driver. By choosing to drive sober, we help make sure the holidays remain safe and enjoyable for everyone.

Tips for a Safe Holiday Season

• Plan Ahead: Line up a sober driver, call a cab, or arrange a ride before you go out.
• Take the Pledge: Commit to staying sober behind the wheel and encourage your friends to do the same.

Help Spread the Word

We invite everyone to share this message with your family, friends, and coworkers. When we all do our part, we can make the holidays safer and happier for everyone on the road.
