Jan 3, 2018 | 1:58 PM

KAMLOOPS — It was another successful year for Operation Red Nose in Kamloops.

The designated driving service offered 1,338 rides over 18 nights of service this holiday season, the most in B.C.

“We did finish first again. We were about 500 rides ahead of the second place host community (Prince George),” says coordinator Katie Klassen. “We did really well. Kamloops continues to grow, which is great. I know there’s a few communities in the Lower Mainland who cancelled the service so for us to continue to grow every year is great to see.”

So, what does she attribute the success in Kamloops to?
