SAULT STE. MARIE, ON - (December 5) - THe holiday season is fast approaching and it is a joyous occasion where our thoughts and reflections are centered on family members, loved ones and friends in our lives.

It is a time to gather with friends and family and celebrate this festive season, however we need to remind citizens [about] the importance of drinking responsibly.

Some people still lack the fear of getting caught, and continue to drink and drive during the festive season.

Education and enforcement during the last several years have decreased the amount of drunk drivers on our streets, but some drivers still feel that they can drive after consuming a few drinks during the holidays.

You can help stop this senseless crime with your anonymous information that could earn a drunk driver a date with a judge.

Send in your web tips to SaultCrimeStoppers.com or call Crime Stoppers at 942-7867 or 1-800-222-8477.
