Prince George promotes
“Operation Red Nose”

By Jay Brunn

BC Lions kicker, Lui
Passaglia, was on
campus, November 25,
to help Prince George
kick off their first ever
participation in
“Operation Red Nose.”
Prince George added
itself to the list of 93
cities across Canada
who participate in the
program each year.

The purpose behind
Operation Red Nose is
to provide an alterna-
tive to drinking and dri-
ving. If someone does
not feel fit to drive,
whether tired or from
drinking, Operation
Red Nose offers a con-
fidential way for both
the individual and their
vehicle to get home
safely.

Lui Passaglia empha-
sized how important a
program such as
Operation Red Nose is,

injured in alcohol relat-
ed accidents.

The program was
conceptualized on
December 13, 1994 in
Quebec City. Initially,
Operation Red Nose
provided 463 rides. It
has since grown to
over 90 cities, escort-
ing over 110,000 indi-
viduals and their rides
home.

Operation Red Nose
will take place on
December 10-12, 17-

-19, 24, 26 and 31. If

you need a ride call
564-6673 or 564-
NOSE.

Anyone interested in
volunteering for
Operation Red Nose
should contact Jim
O’Meara through the
Fitness Centre.
Volunteer forms are
also available at
NUGSS.
