Operation Red Nose

Operation Red Nose (ORN) is a free volunteer driving service during the holiday season in B.C.

Named in honour of the most-famous reindeer of all (Rudolph, if you didn't know), ORN provides free rides to drivers (and their passengers) who, after going to a party, are impaired or too tired to drive home on their own.

The service is available in these communities:

• Abbotsford/Mission
• Chilliwack
• Delta/Richmond
• Kamloops
• Langley/Surrey
• Nanaimo
• North Shore
• Prince George
• Ridge Meadows
• Tri-Cities (Coquitlam, Port Coquitlam, Port Moody and surrounding communities)
• Williams Lake

All you have to do is call 1-877-604-NOSE and a team of three ORN volunteers will help you get home safely. One volunteer drives the client’s vehicle, a second volunteer navigates; a third volunteer follows in an escort vehicle to pick up the two volunteers once they drop off the client.

Last year about 3,300 volunteers provided 4,893 rides and drove more than 126,000 km helping others get home safely.
