The program is being launched by police to try to put a big dent in the number of impaired drivers in the city.

Under the plan, drivers who get a taxi voucher leave their keys with bar staff and pick them up from the Weyburn police station the next day.

Their names will also be put in a draw for a shot at winning a prize for participating in the initiative.

Police Chief Marlo Pritchard says the project is getting good support.
