Dear Friend, Here in Canada, summer represents a time to be carefree, to sit back, relax, and enjoy long, hot days and pleasant evenings with family and friends. But we also can't afford to let our guard down on our roads and waterways. Summer has the highest number of impaired driving crashes than any other [...]

Dear Friend, Imagine for a moment the sound of a loved one's voice. It's easy if you hear it all the time. The sound of their laughter, the quirky expressions they use, the way they sing off-key in the car – they're all as familiar to you as your own voice. Now imagine if the [...]

Dear Friend, So often in the various correspondences we send out, horrific statistics are included such as: On average, every day in Canada, up to 4 driving deaths and 175 injuries involve alcohol and/or drugs. But what is most devastating is that these aren’t just stats – these are real people – moms, dads, husbands, wives, children. And the victims and [...]

Dear Friend, I believe our donors must be the happiest people – because of all they do for others with their heart-felt support for MADD Canada. They are certainly there for the victims and survivors of impaired driving. And now, with your added support, we can continue to help them recover from unthinkable tragedy. We can [...]

Dear Friend, As soon as I read this quote from Lewis Carroll I immediately thought of all our thoughtful and compassionate donors.

Dear Friend, Sweet, sweet summer. As Canadians, we look forward to it all year long. After all, summer is a time for cottage weekends, picnics, and long, leisurely road trips – a time to enjoy life and create the memories we’ll remember tomorrow. That was Bradley Lentz’s plan when he and his wife, Nancy, joined [...]

Dear Friend, This past month our minds turned to Valentine’s Day –hearts, flowers and loved ones. But tragically, many people have lost loved ones to impaired driving crashes and losses due to injuries. It’s to these people that our hearts go out to today. Victims and survivors need to have a safe place to share [...]

Dear Friend, Your support for MADD Canada – your personal effort – can make a difference. In fact, when you combine your effort with that of other MADD Canada supporters, there’s nothing we can’t accomplish. It is people like you that ensure we make important strides – in the classroom, in the courtroom, in parliament, [...]

Dear Friend, It's the holiday season and all across Canada people are celebrating. But in some homes there is only darkness. No lights sparkle from the eaves, no gifts wait to be opened. The families inside don't feel much like celebrating. The tragedy of impaired driving has left its mark forever on their shattered hearts. [...]
