MADD
Canada’s
Display a Red Ribbon
Mission:
To
Stop
Impaired
Driving
And
To
Support
Victims
Of
This
Violent
Crime.
The 2005 Project Red Ribbon was launched
November 1 at Toronto Police Service
Headquarters. The annual public awareness
campaign urges Canadians to display a red
ribbon and join in the fight against impaired
driving. This campaign for safe roadways is a
Tie One On
For Safety
mainstay of the holiday season. This year, the
campaign runs through to January 9, 2006.
MADD Canada asks that Canadians display
their red ribbon by attaching it to a vehicle’s
antenna or rearview mirror or tying it to a
keychain. Each year at this time, MADD
Canada volunteers distribute millions of ribbons
to Canadians with the hope of effectively
delivering their ‘Don’t Drink and Drive’
message during the busiest social time on our
calendar. Our goal is to reduce impaired driving
incidents and the resulting tragic deaths and
injuries caused by impaired driving.

Project Red Ribbon

from page 1
The MADD Toronto Chapter assisted the national
organization by co-hosting the country-wide launch
event in Toronto. MADD Canada’s National President
Karen Dunham was part of the official ceremony, tying
on a red ribbon to begin this year’s drive. “Today, as we
launch Project Red Ribbon, we do so in memory of all
those killed and injured as a result of impaired driving
and we do so in the hopes that our efforts today will save
a life, that our holiday season will be free of impaired
driving tragedies and senseless death and injuries.”
“From today through the 2006 New Year’s
celebrations, the Project Red Ribbon campaign will be in
full gear from coast-to-coast. MADD Canada supporters
will be in malls, with police at their roadside spot checks,
in parades and at public events, raising the awareness on
the dangers of impaired driving.”
Mrs. Dunham explains displaying the red ribbon
makes a significant statement. “The red ribbon is a tribute
to honour those who have been killed or injured in
impaired driving crashes. Attaching a ribbon to your
vehicle and/or your keychain serves as a constant
message to people on the roads to drive safe and sober.
Most important, by displaying the MADD Canada red
ribbon, you make a personal commitment to drive sober.”
The National President spoke of the importance of the
campaign: “Today’s event is important because we can
never remind motorists too often of the dangers of
impaired driving. Unfortunately, in our news, we have
daily reminders that our fight against this violent crime is
not over. There are just too many news reports of
impaired driving tragedies, needless deaths and injuries,
unspeakable crash scenes, and the stupidity of repeat
Page
Two
offenders and those who continue to choose to drink or
take drugs and drive.”
“For that reason, we believe there needs to be constant
and committed effort made to change people’s attitudes
and habits to driving impaired, and to ensure the
activities of drinking and driving are separated. We know
that education and public awareness is very important
and campaigns such as Project Red Ribbon can go a long
way in ensuring that our voices are heard.”
Mrs. Dunham adds, “Our volunteers and corporate
sponsors will distribute over four million red ribbons in
the next few months - with a clear message for motorists
not to drive impaired by alcohol or other drugs when
they are on the roads during this holiday season.”
MADD Canada’s Project Red Ribbon campaign is
supported by community partners such as local law
enforcement and emergency medical service
organizations, national, provincial, regional and local
corporations, and Canadian celebrities from sports,
entertainment and broadcast industries. The awareness
campaign is spearheaded by MADD Canada’s 7,500+
committed volunteers in 75 local Chapters and 10
Community Leaders across the country.
Sponsorship for the campaign has grown in the past
few years. Allstate Insurance Company of Canada
continues to show leadership as the national campaign’s
Title Sponsor (more information on Allstate in our
Spotlight on Sponsors on page 9). Suzuki Canada Auto
Dealers Foundation is this year’s campaign National
Sponsor. Official / Provincial sponsors include BMO
Bank of Montreal, Coyle Corrugated Containers Inc.,
Enterprise Rent-A-Car Alberta, Labelad and #TAXI.

campaign through the holiday season by visiting the

National President’s Message
MATTERS
On Our Loving Memories
and Our Actions
I have had the
privilege of representing
the organization at two
events recently that I
believe have captured
the very essence of our organization’s being: the
Rededication of the Memorial Wall at MADD Canada’s
National Headquarters and the launch of the 2005 Project
Red Ribbon campaign. I would like to share a few
thoughts on both these special occasions.
Rededication of the Memorial Wall
The National Staff hosted a beautiful and moving
ceremony in early October to rededicate the Memorial
Wall. The display of framed photographs now adorning
the National Office walls pays a silent tribute to all the
innocent victims who have been killed or seriously injured
by impaired driving.
I wish to again thank the families from across Canada
who have shared these precious photos with us. We hope
and trust all who view these walls gain a better
understanding of the serious consequences that can result
from an impaired driving crash. As well, this sharing of a
family’s love often gives strength to others who are trying
to cope with the devastating effects on their own family.
At the ceremony, I was honoured to have with me five
past National Presidents and MADD Canada’s Founder
John Bates. The past presidents — Tony Carvalho, Jane
Meldrum, Susan MacAskill, Carolyn Swinson and Louise
Knox — helped unveil the wall plaque commemorating
the event.
Our organization’s leaders – both past and present –
pay tribute to the many victims of impaired driving.
MADD Canada speaks for those who can no longer speak.
I believe this might be our most important role in our
society. We need to convey the horror and anguish of this
violent crime so that we eventually eliminate impaired
driving. Our driving desire is to ensure other innocent
Canadians will not be killed or injured – that other
families will not have to suffer the grief of losing a loved
one. By carrying forward victims’ messages of hope for
safer roads, we remember our loved ones.
I would be remiss if I did not mention our tremendous
appreciation to Home Depot for volunteering skilled
tradesmen and donating materials to re-erect the
Memorial Wall. Home Depot’s expertise and support has
made the wall a most striking tribute.
2005 Project
Red Ribbon
This year’s launch, as you read in the newsletter’s
cover article, was at Toronto Police Service Headquarters.
The event gave me reason to stop and think about the very
important relationship we have with police forces across
our country. I believe it comes from a mutual respect…
MADD Canada members have a tremendous amount of
respect and admiration for our police who ensure our
safety on the roads and in our communities. We are very
pleased to be in partnership with police forces throughout
Canada. Together, we effectively deliver the important
messages about impaired driving during the holiday
season – and throughout the year.
The actions of the greater MADD Canada family are
very important and through the Project Red Ribbon
campaign we get to see a glimpse as to why. We continue
to launch awareness drives year-over-year every
November because the problem is not going away. On
average, just under 4 Canadians are killed and just under
190 Canadians are injured in alcohol and drug-related
crashes every day. For us, this is not acceptable. With our
awareness drives, we are working to change these odds.
With our programs and services we strive to ease the
tribulations of victims and their families.
During the Project Red Ribbon campaign, we urge
Canadians to display a ribbon and let the public know of
the personal commitment to drive sober. Everyone in
Canada needs to take action against impaired driving if
we are to ensure the safety of ourselves and our loved
ones.
During the holiday season – and throughout the year –
when you are in the presence of people drinking too
much, encourage those around you to take a cab, sleep
over, take public transit, or arrange a designated driver.
There are so many options available to us to keep safe all
motorists sharing the roads.
We wish Canadians a happy and safe holiday season!
We urge Canadians to tie a red ribbon on to their vehicles
and on their keychains and make that personal choice
NOT TO DRIVE IMPAIRED.

MATTERS
Priorities for
Federal Impaired
Driving Legislation
National President Karen Dunham was in Ottawa
in October to speak with MPs about MADD
Canada’s priorities for new federal legislation. The
focus of the organization’s public policy is to realize
better laws that will effectively reduce the numbers
of Canadians killed and seriously injured as a result
of impaired driving crashes.
Mrs. Dunham’s comments: “MADD Canada has
set specific priorities for potential federal legislation.
Through our research and taking into consideration
empirical evidence and international experience in
the fight to stop impaired driving we know the
federal government must take a good look at passing
new legislation. If passed, our proposed legislative
initiatives will help with enforcement and
convictions, and will ensure impaired driving
sentences reflect the severity of the crime.”
The five priority policy points Mrs. Dunham
spoke to MPs about are:
Amend the Criminal Code to establish a new

Likely, by the time this newsletter is printed,
Canadians will be in the middle of an election
campaign. There was legislation lost with the
dissolution of Parliament. MADD Canada will be
urging the newly elected federal government to reintroduce legislation regarding new drug impaired
driving provisions and the misuse of conditional
sentences for violent crimes. MADD Canada
supports:

* Footnote re Bill C-70: On the policy matter relating to conditional sentencing, the legislation introduced by
Federal Justice Minister Irwin Cotler does not fully eliminate conditional sentences for violent crimes.
However, MADD Canada views this legislation as a good step in the right direction to stopping the misuse of
conditional sentences. Support for this legislation is given with the positive mindset that judges’ attitudes about
what is appropriate for justice and the public’s sense of justice in our country will be moved by the
government’s new emphasis that restricts use of conditional sentences for exceptional circumstances. It is hoped
that Bill C-70 will make the use of conditional sentences for violent crimes the exception instead of the norm.

Prepare a will. Only 50% of those who pass away
have one. By preparing a will, and making a gift to
a charitable organization such as MADD Canada,
you retain control over how you wish to distribute
your assets.
Leave a gift in your will for MADD Canada and help
us to stop impaired driving and support victims of this
violent crime. Less than 10 % of Canadians have
included non-profits in their estate plan. Imagine the
positive impact on our communities if everyone made
a donation to the charity they support.
Encourage family and friends to leave gifts to
charity in their wills.
• Change tradition: if you’ve always had a real tree, try
an artificial one this year; perhaps consider changing the
time you open gifts.
• Religious services: consider attending the service at a
different time/location; perhaps attending a completely
different service.
• New decoration: place a decoration (perhaps an angel)
on the tree in memory of your loved one and add to it
each year.
• Continue to hang a stocking for your loved one: fill it
with little things he/she loved and give it to a needy child
who wouldn’t otherwise have a stocking.
• Shopping: shop during less busy hours; make a list; if
shopping is too difficult try giving cash or asking a friend
to pick a gift up for you.
• Light a special candle for your loved one.
• Create something special for your loved one: light a tree
in the garden for him/her; make a memorial donation to
his/her favorite charity.
• Plan ahead: if you don’t think you can make a special
function, offer to “show up” but explain you may not be
able to stay for long.
• Do what is right for you: if you need quiet time – take
it; if you need to cry – cry; talk about your loved one; let
people know what you need.

Thank you Allstate!
The Allstate Insurance Company of Canada is again
serving as Title Sponsor for MADD Canada’s annual
holiday season public awareness campaign for safe and
sober travel: Project Red Ribbon: Tie One On For Safety.
“In our role as an auto insurer, we unfortunately see the
devastating impact of impaired driving on individuals and
families,” said Allstate President Mike Donoghue.
“Allstate serves our customers and communities in
many ways. By lending our support to MADD Canada, our
goal is to raise awareness for sober driving – which is
critical for safe communities,” Mr. Donoghue said.
Allstate supports Project Red Ribbon with a corporate
donation and by distributing red ribbon materials
nationally. Allstate’s agency offices, consisting of about
450 professional insurance advisors located in 250
communities across Canada, host the ribbons, posters and
coin boxes annually. The company also sends red ribbon
materials with the sober driving message to policyholders
in November and December.
Allstate also supports a number
of other sober driving programs and
projects. In concert with MADD
Canada, the Allstate brand is on a
number of booklets on social host’s
alcohol liability. These materials
aim to help people understand their
potential legal liability, safeguard
their family, friends and associates and minimize alcoholrelated problems that generate civil suits.
Allstate also supports MADD Canada’s target
campaigns like boat and snowmobile safety. In addition,
Allstate customer envelopes feature a sober driving
message sent out year-round through over one million
mailings.
In total, Allstate has lent its ‘good hands’ to MADD
Canada for almost 20 years, beginning with Allstate
employees volunteering to manually cut the red ribbons
into single antennae-sized portions. Just as Canadian
drivers’ awareness for sober driving has grown over the
years, so has the MADD Canada-Allstate Canada
relationship.
As Allstate President Mike Donoghue says, “At Allstate,
we’re very committed to MADD Canada’s goal of safe and
sober driving everywhere, all the time. But we also know –
and this is something that we tell all of our customers and
partners whenever we get the chance
– sober driving isn’t just a partnership
between MADD Canada and Allstate.
It’s a partnership between every driver
on the road.”
Thank you Allstate for all that you
do in support of our efforts!
