The campaign runs from November 1<sup>st<\/sup> to January 5, 2026, reminding Canadians to drive sober or plan ahead for a safe ride home through a designated driver, public transit, a cab or rideshare services such as Uber, if they consume alcohol, cannabis, and\/or other drugs. Wawa used to have a Healthy Lifestyles Coalition that promoted sober driving and healthy lifestyles. Together with the SE OPP they held a Red Ribbon Campaign and solicited pledges from drivers as they tied red ribbons on vehicles.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Weather: Today &#8211; Sunny.
