Join MADD Canada as it Makes Strides for Change

MADD Canada Chapters and Community Leaders invite you to lace up your running shoes and make Strides for Change this summer!

The local groups are hosting their annual 5 km walks over the spring and summer months to raise public awareness about the dangers of impaired driving and to support victims in their communities.

“Strides for Change brings communities together in the fight to stop impaired driving,” said MADD Canada’s National President Denise Dubyk. “It’s a family-oriented day that
offers lots of activities and fun, while also providing a meaningful way to contribute to the efforts to stop a violent crime that claims hundreds of lives and causes thousands of
injuries every year.”

The events include: checkpoint stations, a Kids’ Zone, a Health and Safety Fair and a Tribute and Survivor Area which honours all those affected by impaired driving and reminds everyone why it is so important to continue to work towards eliminating this terrible crime. Some locations also feature Hospitality and Pet areas.

For a full list of Strides for Change events across the country, please visit www.stridesforchange.ca. People who don’t live near a walk location can participate as a Virtual Walker or simply by making a donation.
