Summary
This Prince Edward Island private member's bill officially names November 1st as 'Project Red Ribbon Day' in the province. The day is meant to recognize MADD Canada's long-running Project Red Ribbon campaign, which has distributed red ribbons since 1988 for Canadians to display on their vehicles as a symbol of commitment to sober driving. The bill honours those who have lost their lives or been injured due to impaired driving, and aims to promote greater public awareness about the dangers of driving while impaired. It was introduced by MLA Susie Dillon as a private member's bill in the 2025 legislative session. The bill is largely symbolic in nature — it creates a named day of recognition but does not introduce any new laws, penalties, or government programs related to impaired driving.
