MADD Canada Hosts Memorial Ceremony Honoring Victims
Memorial Ceremony to Honor Victims of Alcohol-Related Crashes
MADD Canada is set to hold an important ceremony dedicated to honoring victims and survivors affected by crashes involving alcohol, cannabis, and other drugs. This annual Memorial Monument ceremony will take place this weekend in a community-centered atmosphere where families and friends will have the opportunity to reflect and support one another as they renew their commitment to sober driving.
Significance of the Memorial Monument
The ceremony will be held at Central Funeral Homes, where a Memorial Monument stands etched with the names of 78 individuals who tragically lost their lives or sustained injuries due to alcohol and drug-related incidents. This monument serves as a poignant reminder of the far-reaching consequences that emerge from the choice to drive under the influence.
Details of the Ceremony
This year, although no new names will be added to the monument, the significance of the event remains profound, reinforcing the unyielding impact of impaired driving. The ceremony is scheduled for a Saturday afternoon, and participants are encouraged to show their support as we remember those who have been forever affected by the reckless decisions of others.
Attendance and Guest Speakers
MADD Canada invites media representatives and community members alike to join in this solemn event. Notable speakers will include Elder Bob Young from Qalipu First Nation, along with local dignitaries like Mike Browne, the Mayor of Grand Falls-Windsor, and Clifford Small, MP of Central Newfoundland. These voices will echo the community's collective resolve for safer roads.
Future Memorials Across Canada
MADD Canada has established multiple Memorial Monuments across the country, including locations in Ontario, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta, and Quebec. Plans are underway to unveil a new monument in Prince Edward Island next year, plus efforts are being made to create a similar structure in British Columbia to honor victims there as well.
