The holidays can be a time for celebrations that include alcohol even in times of COVID-19, and that’s why the Prince Albert & Area Community Alcohol Strategy Steering Committee is continuing with its cab coupons this year.
It’s a partnership with SGI, the Northern Lights Community Development Corporation, Grey Cab and Checker/Family Taxi.
Committee spokesperson, Karen Anthony-Burns, says this will be the fourth year for handing out $10 cab coupons for those who have had a few drinks and need a ride home.
The Prince Albert Police Service is handing out the coupons at local establishments when doing their safety checks and the rest will be available through the local cab companies.
They can be used through the end of January.
Anthony-Burns says the goal of the Alcohol Strategy Steering Committee is to create a healthy community by changing unhealthy attitudes and behaviours around alcohol use.
