Folks celebrating the 2019 holiday season will once again have free access to a safe and confidential ride home beginning at the end of this week.
Operation Red Nose kicks off service for the season in Brandon and immediate area on Friday (November 29). Those in need of a ride are able to call 204-728-6673, after which time a team of three volunteers will be brought to your location and will drive you and your passengers to your destination of choice in your vehicle (important to note that one must have their own vehicle available in order to get a ride).
Dates in operation for 2019 will include the following beginning at 9pm and running until 2am:
- Friday, November 29
- Saturday, November 30
- Friday, December 6
- Saturday, December 7
- Friday, December 13
- Saturday, December 14
- Friday, December 20
- Saturday, December 21
- Tuesday, December 31
Service is able to be provided within a 30km radius of Brandon. Thanks to sponsors covering operating costs and volunteers offering their time, rides are provided at no charge with donations accepted toward Brandon youth sports organizations.
Please make use of this service and make sure that those close to you know of its availability to help keep them, their vehicle and our roads safe during the festive season.
Red Nose is also regularly seeking volunteers, who in addition to helping out with such an important initiative get all they can handle while on the job from event sponsors including Tim Hortonâs, Coke, Old Dutch, Marinoâs, Pizza Hut and Dominoâs.
