ARRIVE ALIVE BOTTLE DRIVE
On Saturday, May 12th we will host our fourth bottle drive at participating The Beer Stores. The day proves to be an excellent opportunity to pass information into the hands of those who purchase and consume alcohol.

The following (36) communities have signed up: Alexandria, Beaverton, Belle River, Brampton, Bridgenorth, Brockville, Chatham, Chelmsford, Coldwater, Delhi, Goderich, Guelph, Haliburton, Hanmer, Ingersoll, Iroquois Falls, Keewatin, Kemptville, Lasalle, Minden, Norwich, Oakville, Parry Sound, Perth, Peterborough, Port Perry, Simcoe, Smiths Falls, St. Catharines, Sudbury, Tecumseh, Tillsonburg, Timmins, Uxbridge, Whitby, Windsor, and Woodstock.

As well as raising awareness of impaired driving and how to prevent it, the event raises significant funds for OCCID activities and 50% of funds raised by community groups are returned to them to be spent on any anti-impaired driving projects. Please support this one-day event in your area. If youve never been involved, contact our office and well connect you with the captain of the participating community closest to you, help out on the day for an hour or two, and maybe next year well be adding your name!
