Northwest Territories RCMP Traffic Services, Cpl Todd Scalpen, says impaired driving is entirely preventable and will continue to be a main focus during the campaign.
“Similar to other years, we want to be visible in our communities and encourage motorists to drive safely and to find other means of transport home after partaking in holiday events.”
