MADD Canada’s Campaign 911

Report impaired driving. Call 911.

Campaign 911 is a Canada-wide campaign to encourage and empower the Canadian public to report suspected impaired driving by calling 911.

Impaired driving is the #1 cause of criminal death in Canada and, yet, every impaired driving crash is preventable.  By calling 911 and reporting suspected impaired drivers to police, all Canadians can play a role in keeping our roads safe and in reducing impaired driving crashes, deaths and injuries.
