Riding along with Operation Red Nose in Kamloops
KAMLOOPS — With all the Christmas parties and holiday celebrations going on at this time of year, it’s important to consider just how you’re going to get home after having a beverage or two. While taxis and transit are options, for over two decades Operation Red Nose has been delivering holiday revellers home safely, and in their own vehicles. CFJC Today went out with Operation Red Nose on Saturday night to see how busy the designated driving service gets at this time of year.
It all starts with a call. And once those calls start coming in, they come in fast.
“[The night] starts off quite slow for us, but as soon as the teams come in at 10:00 pm, things are full force,” Coordinator Katie Klassen explains.
