Peel Regional Police officially launched the Seasonal Reduce Impaired Driving Everywhere (R.I.D.E.) Campaign in partnership with Mother’s Against Drunk Driving (MADD). This initiative is part of our ongoing and collaborative efforts to reduce impaired driving and enhance road safety across Peel Region.
From November 16 to December 31, 2024, additional officers from Road Safety Services and divisions will be deployed to conduct increased roadside checks to ensure the community is driving safely and responsibly.
Officers will be reminding the public to not drive if they have consumed alcohol or any type of drugs, as well as ensuring they have a plan to get home by having a designated driver, an alternate place to stay, or using public transportation. Road safety is a shared responsibility.
While the Seasonal R.I.D.E. Campaign marks an increase in strategic enforcement, PRP remains committed to year-round education about the dangers of impaired driving.
We encourage you to keep an eye out on our social media to share road safety tips with your communities throughout the holiday season.
DHF is a non-profit organization which has been supporting families impacted with type 1 diabetes (T1D) for over 25 years through scholarships and educational resources. PEP Talks is designed to offer practical support to caregivers navigating the emotional and often hidden aspects of raising a child with T1D. The program is free to attend and is specifically funded and designed for residents of the GTA.
The next session in the series is being hosted on Tuesday December 3 and will focus on transferring responsibilities for youth managing T1D independently. We’ll also be hosting subsequent sessions on growth mindset, communication, and self-care over the coming months (exact dates may change, expect an email from me closer to the date!).

- Affordability issues in the community
- Community safety and well-being
- Promoting diversity, equity and inclusion
To address the challenges being faced, the 2025 Budget also reflects $14.9 million in cost savings and in cost avoidance found through continuous improvement efforts and cost containment measures.
