Steinbach MLA and Conservative Justice Critic, Kelvin Goertzen.
Steinbach MLA and Conservative Justice Critic, Kelvin Goertzen, participated in the launch of the Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) Red Ribbon Campaign to discourage people from drinking and driving during the holiday season and all year round.
“No parent or loved one should ever have to go to the funeral of someone killed by a drunk driver. While there has been a change in thinking about drinking and driving over the past many years, it’s a message that still has to be reinforced by both public awareness and tougher laws,” said Goertzen.
Project Red Ribbon encourages Manitobans to tie a red ribbon for the next two months to their vehicle’s antenna or their key chains as a reminder of those who have lost their lives to drinking and driving and as a reminder to not drink and drive.
“The best events and holidays are the ones that everyone returns home from safe. That has to be the goal now and throughout the year,” said Goertzen.
Goertzen noted the campaign runs until the first week of January and red ribbons are available at his constituency office at #3- 227 Main Street, Steinbach.
