BELLEVILLE – Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Operation Red Nose will not be offering its drive-home service this holiday season.

The organization made the announcement on Wednesday, citing the safety of volunteers and clients as the reason for cancelling.

The volunteer-run service drives partygoers and their vehicle to their homes after a night out. During the 2019 season, the Quinte  operation served 731 people across 381 different trips. Its 259 volunteers in 2019 drove a collective 11,930 kilometres during the holiday season.

Operation Red Nose says that it will still be launching an awareness campaign in November to help promote safe habits behind the wheel.
