PRINCE ALBERT The Prince Albert Community Alcohol Strategy Steering Committee (CASSC) is amping up its efforts to reduce impaired driving this holiday season after some initiatives were halted because of COVID-19. The group has doubled its cab coupons this year, in partnership with SGI, the Northern Lights Community Development Corporation, Grey Cab and Checker & Family Taxi. This year, 400 $10 coupons will be available. Even though holiday gatherings are restricted, CASSC coordinator Karen Anthony-Burns said people are still driving under the influence. There are still people that are out there. We re hearing of impaired charges every week,” she said. Anthony-Burns is also the treasurer of the Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) Prince Albert chapter. She’s leading a local initiative where signs are placed at spots where police caught convicted impaired drivers.
