Let Rudolph guide your sleigh or sedan if you’ve overindulged in the rum and eggnog this holiday season. Operation Red Nose is a by-donation, designated-driver service that offers the convenience of delivering Christmas party revellers home safely in their own vehicle. The Canada-wide Operation Red Nose program is provided on the North Shore by the local Rotary clubs, whose members, along with 200 volunteers, donate their time over the five weekends in November and December that Red Nose is operational. The safe-ride-home service is valuable because North Shore residents might be hard-pressed to find a cab late at night during the busy holiday season. “It’s the time of year that folks tend to party more both with their families and their work colleagues,” says Jim Godey, co-ordinator of Operation Red Nose North Shore, now in its 15th year. Patrons of the program are asked to call for a ride about an hour before they want to be picked up, while noting wait times vary, especially later in the evening when the service gets busy. There is one caveat to the convenience of having your car brought home: Operation Red Nose North Shore volunteers will only cross one bridge. “We will pick up (from) and deliver to downtown Vancouver and we have an arrangement with the Burnaby Operation Red Nose to transfer folks who want to go further east,” explains Godey.

Service is free but donations are welcome
From page 20
“We do not have the same agreement with Richmond as Vancouver is too big and has no Operation Red Nose.” There is no cost for the service, but donations are accepted. “Our mandate is to provide our service free of charge so that everyone can afford it,” says Godey. “We are able to receive donations and our clients
are always very generous.” Last Christmas season Operation Red Nose North Shore volunteers provided 274 safe rides, drove a total of 5,173 kilometres and raised more than $20,000 to support youth programs in North and West Vancouver. Artists for Kids and the North Shore Youth Safehouse are past recipients of Operation Red Nose donations, which also go towards
providing non-academic scholarships for local high school students. Godey said the program is always in need of volunteers who can take on roles such as designated driver or navigator. There are also opportunities to work the phones and dispatch new calls from Operation Red Nose headquarters at the District of North Vancouver fire training
Let us help you find the perfect gift or sweet treat this holiday season.

centre on St. Denis Avenue. “Oh yeah, for sure, especially New Year’s,” says Godey. “If you don’t have plans, consider volunteering and giving back to the community.” Volunteers work in teams of three, two of which ride along with the client in their vehicle. Anyone driving a client’s car must be at least 21 years old, but others can volunteer in the call centre. Money for gas is provided to the volunteer driver. Food and refreshments are provided for the volunteers, most of whom work into the early hours of the morning. Operation Red Nose brings home awareness of road safety and the dangers of drinking and driving, says Godey. The service is not exclusive to motorists who have been drinking; it’s also available for those who don’t feel fit
19 and 31. The number to call for a ride home is 604-619-0942, or you can download the app. Visit the website for more information.

It was a year in which a fancy restaurant dinner could set Christmas you back 50 cents. in the It was the year the North Shore Press started, the second in neighbourhood a long line of local newspapers that eventually led to the North Shore News. It was also the last Christmas before the start of the First World War. And it was the year that North Vancouver resident Jack Nye completed building his new house in Lynn Valley, just in time as his daughter Mollie was born that year. Just over 100 years ago, in 1913, the area looked much different than it does now, and Christmas was a more understated affair. There weren’t any malls or traffic jams, no cellphones or email. It was a quieter time, and a time to spend with family and friends. The house that Jack built is still standing. His daughter Mollie lived in the home for most of her life and it is now a heritage house operated by the Lynn Valley Services Society (on behalf of the district), and offers a variety of programs for people of all ages throughout the year. This Sunday, Mollie Nye House will once again revisit its heritage with the annual Traditional Tea event. The event features tea, shortbread, and tarts for $5 per person. The home has been decorated for the season, and servers will be in old-fashioned costumes. “It’s a way of opening up the house and making it accessible for people in the community to enjoy the heritage feel and to have a bit of a break,” says Celeste Whittaker, who works with Lynn Valley Services Society. A pianist will provide background seasonal music and Whittaker says the event is an opportunity for community members to take a break from the busyness of the season and relax with friends over a hot cup of tea. Everyone is welcome at the event, all ages, and those who don’t celebrate Christmas. Whittaker notes that the upstairs of the house has been preserved to look much like it was when Mollie Nye lived there, including original hardwood floors and stained glass, and that’s where the tea will be held. “It’s just a fun event. Just try to slow down a little bit and maybe meet some new people,” she adds. Tickets for the annual Traditional Tea on Sunday, Dec. 20 are $5, available at Mollie Nye House, 940 Lynn Valley Rd., North Vancouver. Tickets can be purchased in person between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. For more information call 604-987-5820.

Celebrate with Safety this Season Drive responsibly this holiday season The RCMP is making impaired driving enforcement a national priority; stepping up enforcement efforts across the country to stop impaired drivers.
Impaired driving is an entirely preventable cause of death and injuries that has immense costs and devastating effects in our communities. “If you are planning on drinking, find an alternate way home such as public transit, taxi, Operation Red Nose, or a designated driver that will ensure that
you, and people sharing the road with you, get home safely,” said Supt. Chris Kennedy, Officer in Charge of North Vancouver RCMP. “Our officers will be out in full support of this national effort to keep our roads safe.”
It is important for people to realize that alcohol affects people in different ways. Factors such as diet, fatigue, and prescription drugs can change how alcohol affects an individual. It is possible to be considered impaired even if you have a Blood Alcohol Content below 0.08.
