Festive RIDE program underway in Dufferin County

Dufferin Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) officers officially began their annual Festive RIDE campaign across Dufferin County on Nov. 20.

The program runs until Jan. 1, 2026, and throughout the holiday season, officers will conduct RIDE checks to keep the county's roads safe and remind drivers that impaired driving, whether by alcohol or drugs, is never worth the risk.

“As you celebrate with family and friends, please plan ahead and choose a safe way home. No amount of impairment is safe for driving,” reads a Dufferin OPP press release.

“From all of us at the Dufferin OPP, have a safe, responsible, and happy holiday season.”
