Santa isn't the only one who will be checking if you've been naughty or nice this month.
Police and IC BC are also gearing up to check for impaired drivers with the annual December CounterAttack campaign.
According to IC BC, an average of five people are killed each December in B.C. in crashes involving impaired driving. An average of 4,700 people are injured in 16,000 crashes in the Lower Mainland each December.
North Shore Operation Red Nose is also underway this month. Organized by local Rotary clubs, it offers a free ride home in North and West Vancouver and Bowen Island between 9 p.m. and 3 a.m. on Friday and Saturday nights by calling 604-319-0942. Last year, volunteers provided 305 safe rides home and raised $18,000 in donations to support youth programs on the North Shore. - Jane Seyd
