Media Advisory: Family Of Woman Killed By Impaired Driver To Join MADD Canada In Red Deer To Launch National Sober Driving Holiday Campaign
OAKVILLE, Ontario, Oct. 28, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The family of Chloe Kaniusis, who was killed in an impaired driving crash in 2014, will be joined by Red Deer Mayor Ken Johnston and representatives from Red Deer RCMP, Fire Services and Emergency Medical Services on November 1st to launch MADD Canada’s national Project Red Ribbon campaign to promote sober driving during the holiday season.
Chloe and her mother, Brenda Brown, were returning home from a Christmas shopping trip in Red Deer on November 21, 2014 when an impaired driver hit their vehicle. Chloe died instantly. Brenda was pinned inside the wreckage for three hours, her beloved daughter just out of her reach. A mother of two young sons, a wife, a daughter – Chloe was just 30 years old when she was taken so horribly and so tragically from her heartbroken family.
This year’s Project Red Ribbon campaign materials honour Chloe’s memory.
With the holiday season being one of the busiest times on most social calendars, Project Red Ribbon reminds Canadians about the importance of always driving sober, or planning ahead for a sober ride home if alcohol, cannabis or other drugs are being consumed.

Throughout the campaign, MADD Canada volunteers in communities across Canada distribute thousands of red ribbons and red ribbon car decals to the public to display as a symbol of their commitment to always drive sober. The ribbons also serve as a powerful tribute to the thousands of Canadians killed and injured in crashes involving alcohol and/or drugs each year.
