SGI has released its New Year’s Eve Countdown aimed at keeping everyone safe. Number 1 is staying the night wherever you are visiting, second is consider a splurge and book a party bus or limo, third is make non-alcoholic beverages available if you’re hosting, four- call a sober friend or family member and rounding out the top five is designate a sober driver or be the D.D.

SGI reminds party goers that police across Saskatchewan will be conducting check stops and other forms of impaired driving enforcement on New Year’s Eve.
