Every year, lives are needlessly lost on our roadways because of alcohol, drugs and distracted-impaired driving. These are avoidable tragedies that leave scars on our families, schools, and communities.  

During Students Against Impaired Driving Day we ask that you make known your commitment to preventing impaired driving. We remember the victims and honour their memory by making the responsible decision to not be impaired while driving and ensuring that others do the same.
