Today, I joined the remarkable teams from @MaddOttawaArea and @OttawaPolice to launch this year’s Project Red Ribbon campaign. To everyone who has experienced the loss of a loved one to something so preventable, please know that your courage and commitment inspire us all to strive for a safer community. À tous ceux qui ont perdu un être cher à cause de quelque chose d’aussi évitable, sachez que votre courage et votre engagement nous inspirent tous à œuvrer pour une communauté plus sûre. Faisons le bon choix : conduisons de manière responsable et restons en sécurité sur nos routes. Let’s make the right choice—drive responsibly and stay safe on our roads.

As you celebrate the last long weekend of the summer, remember to keep roads and waterways free from impaired driving. We want everyone to make it home safely after enjoying time with family and friends.
