Fort St John, BC – MADD Canada is pleased to announce Caitlyn Dingwell as its new volunteer Community Leader in Fort St John, BC.
In the role, Ms. Dingwell is part of a nation-wide network of volunteers who represent MADD Canada and deliver its message and programs to local communities.
“Our Chapters and Community Leaders undertake a diverse range of activities within their communities to help achieve MADD Canada’s mission of stopping impaired driving and supporting the victims of this violent crime,” said MADD Canada National President Patricia Hynes-Coates. “They truly are the heart and soul of our organization. We are proud to welcome Ms. Dingwell to our amazing and dedicated volunteer team.”
As a new Community Leader, Ms. Dingwell will focus much of her initial efforts around public awareness and education initiatives and building partnerships with stakeholder and community organizations with similar goals of ending impaired driving.
Crashes involving alcohol and/or drugs are the leading criminal cause of death in Canada. On average, approximately 4 people are killed each day in crashes involving alcohol and/or drugs.
“These deaths and injuries are completely preventable. Accidents involving impaired driving can be avoided if people do not get behind the wheel when under the influence of alcohol or drugs,” said Dingwell “I want to be part of the solution and I am confident that Fort St John will be supportive of the effort to stop these senseless tragedies from occurring on our roads and in our community.”
