MADD Canada
Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD Canada) is a charitable, grassroots organization that is committed to stopping impaired driving and supporting the victims of this violent crime.
Each and every year, thousands of Canadians are killed or injured in impaired driving crashes. Driving under the influence of alcohol or other drugs is a terrible crime that touches all our lives. It is an irresponsible, dangerous and intolerable act. MADD Canada strives to offers support services to victims/survivors, heighten awareness about the dangers of alcohol and/or drug-impaired driving, and to save lives and prevent injuries on our roads.
At the heart of MADD Canada are our volunteers; they include not only mothers, but fathers, friends, business professionals, experts in the anti-impaired driving field and concerned citizens who want to make a difference in the fight against impaired driving.
If you need help, or would like to join MADD Canada’s efforts, call our toll free line at 1-800-665-6233.
MADD London & Area
MADD London & Area is focused on bringing the message to the local community in London and the surrounding area in Ontario, Canada.
MADD London was formed in 1996 and continues to be an active part of our community as we work towards eradicating impaired driving. In 2023, we felt it appropriate to add “& Area” to our name as we take on awareness events in the surrounding communities. Our local initiatives are an integral part of MADD Canada’s mission.
Our volunteers continually step up and work to educate the public and also support local victims/survivors. Trained Victim Service Volunteers (VSV) are available for victims/survivors for anything from emotional support to court accompaniment. MADD London & Area’s current president is a victim/survivor herself and knows first-hand how impaired driving can permanently affect someone’s life.
Our volunteers go out into the community and attend health fairs, classroom presentations, and school assemblies educating Londoners on the dangers and consequences of impaired driving. We support National programs locally such as the School Assembly Program and Project Red Ribbon.
We also host an annual 5K walk/run to help us raise funds to remain active in our community. It is worth noting that every dollar raised at our events remains in London and the closely surrounding communities to fund our local programs.
We are currently working with the City of London and Custom Rock Creations on a monument that will stand proudly at one of London’s busiest intersections. We are hopeful to have this project completed sometime in 2023. This monument will serve as a bold reminder to drivers and pedestrians to always drive sober. We also have a beautiful stone garden monument with a bench at the Forest Lawn Funeral Home & Cemetery.
Moving forward, MADD London & Area is committed to spreading our message in London and the surrounding area. We have to stop impaired driving and we’ll do so one volunteer at a time.
