So far this year, we've laid 686 impaired driving charges.

Stay tuned to our social media accounts throughout the month as we aim to educate drivers on the dangers of impaired driving to help ensure that Waterloo Region roadways are safe for all.

Road safety is everyone's responsibility. Your community, your choice.
