It was a busy first weekend for the volunteers at Nez Rouge.
In all, more than 5,000 volunteers offered 6,650 safe rides home to holiday revelers during the first nights of the 2017 campaign.
The busiest region was Quebec City-Levis, where 635 lifts were requested. There were 550 rides home given in Sherbrooke, 256 in Laval-Lower Laurentians and 200 in Montreal.
Now in its 34th year, Nez Rouge has expanded to 101 communities, including 61 in Quebec, across six provinces.
Those who have had a little too much holiday cheer can get a ride home by calling 1-866-DESJARDINS (1-866-337-5273) or using the Nez Rouge app on iPhone or Android.
The free designated driver service collects donations, about $1.5 million each year, and will offer rides home each night in the Montreal region starting December 6.
