New Video Answers Questions
On Parole Process
 MADD Canada is pleased to share a new video resource for victims and survivors
 about the parole process for impaired driving offenders.
 The parole process is complex and can be confusing for victims and survivors. Our Parole video features
 Director of Victim Services Steve Sullivan answering some frequently asked questions about the process,
 victim and survivor rights, victim impact statements and more.
 The video includes powerful interviews with Jennifer Neville-Lake and LeeEllen Carroll about their
 experiences with the parole process. Our sincere thanks to them for bravely sharing their perspectives.
 MADD Canada also wishes to thank Justice Canada for support in making the video.

                                                                           Preparing your victim impact

Different Approach, Same Goal With
Project Red Ribbon Campaign
It was a Project Red Ribbon campaign unlike any other, as Chapters and Community
Leaders adapted activities and events to meet local pandemic-related guidelines. But
the message still came through loud and clear: drive sober, over the holiday season
and all year long.
Normally, volunteers would have been out in full force in their communities, handing out red ribbons
and red ribbon car decals, participating in holiday events and parades, and so much more. This year,
they had to get creative to make sure our red ribbons and the drive sober message reached community
members. Thanks to all the wonderful volunteers who made it happen.

Here is just a small snapshot of their activities around the country.
(See our Chapter Notebook section starting on Page 9 for more Project Red Ribbon initiatives.)

                        fundraiser. Red ribbons were
                        available for anyone to pick
                        up while they drove through
                        the amazing display.

                                                          MADD Kawartha Lakes & Area launched their

MADD Nelson hosted a ceremonial red ribbon-
cutting featuring Nelson Police Department, Nelson
Fire and Nelson Ambulance. Red ribbons were tied
on first-responder vehicles in support of the effort to
stop impaired driving and to honour all victims and
survivors.

New Statistics Report Highlights
Ongoing Impaired Driving Problem
MADD Canada’s newest statistical report provides an                              The Canada-wide stats for 2010 to 2017 are listed
insightful snapshot of the number of people driving                              below. For the full report, including the breakdown of
under the influence of alcohol or drugs.                                         provincial statistics, please see madd.ca.

The number of provincial licence suspensions and
federal charges for impaired driving in 2017 were:

• Annual total: 81,831 charges/suspensions for the
  year;
• Per 100,000 Canadians: 225 charges/suspensions;
• Daily average: 224 charges/suspensions.

The new report is titled: Provincial Short-Term Alcohol
and Drug-Related Licence Suspensions and Federal
Impaired Driving Charges Laid Per Year, Per 100,000
Residents and the Average Per Day, by Jurisdiction:
Canada, 2010-2017

While the total rate of provincial sanctions and federal
charges has been decreasing over time, the number
of people continuing to drive under the influence of
alcohol or drugs remains very concerning.

It should be noted that while some of this decline may
be due to a reduction in impaired driving, it is very
unlikely that this would account for the entire drop. It
is imperative that federal and provincial governments
determine the cause of this decline, and take the steps
necessary to address it, should it be due to a reduction
in enforcement resources.
