“You can’t count on Santa’s magic sleigh to get you home after you’ve been drinking. But you can count on Operation Red Nose,” said Minister Responsible for SGI Don McMorris.

“SGI is committed to helping Saskatchewan residents plan a safe ride home, and we’re proud to continue our sponsorship for Operation Red Nose in Regina, Saskatoon, Prince Albert and The Battlefords. We encourage more communities to join in.”
