Emily Stewart, who lost her father to an impaired driver, expressed deep sorrow: "There's not a single day that goes by that I'm not missing my dad. He was very kind, caring and selfless, and he'll never be back due to someone's reckless decision to get behind the wheel while impaired." This poignant statement highlights the critical impact of impaired driving on victims' families and the lasting emotional scars left behind.
According to Sgt. Kerry Schmidt of the Ontario Provincial Police, impaired driving fatalities are a pressing issue: "If you're going to head out to a party, an event, you know, a family gathering or wherever it is, plan ahead. Have a plan that's going to put you into a position where you know how you're getting home." His advice underscores the importance of responsible decision-making to prevent tragic outcomes.
The ongoing battle against impaired driving is evident in the numbers: "In the first three weeks of the campaign, 767 impaired driving charges were laid," Schmidt stated. This spike indicates the need for constant vigilance and awareness, especially during the festive season when alcohol consumption typically increases.
