In their 23rd year, Operation Red Nose helped get Manitobans and their vehicles home safely for the holidays.
Operation Red Nose (ORN) is a free, volunteer-run designated driver service that operates during the holiday season. When someone calls ORN, a three-person volunteer driving team picks them and their guests up, then drives them home safely, in their own car.
