Operation Red Nose looking for volunteers in Lethbridge
Claude Bilodeau with Black Velvet Distilling Company is volunteering one night of all five weeks.“We are happy to be here for the University of Lethbridge Pronghorns, but it’s also important to us to show the community that we are strong advocates of responsible drinking and a big part of that is helping Operation Red Nose,” said Bilodeau.“Any time you keep an impaired driver off the road, it’s a good thing.”Larry Steinke has been volunteering with the program since its inception in 1994.
“I think that there’s a lot of benefits to the program itself, but I think that there is more importantly the contribution to the community that the athletes and coaches and all the other volunteers to the program make and I think that’s sort of been a mainstay over the years,” said Steinke.
“Its been a bit of a struggle, I’m not going to lie. Our first couple of weekends have been good, but our last three nights we do need some more help,” added Hong. “One of the positions — the designated driver position — you have to be at least 21 and although most of our volunteers are our student athletes, most of them are not 21.”
Many students also travel home for the holidays after exams, adding to the need for community volunteers for the final few days. You can go to the
