Peel Regional Police launch 2026 Festive RIDE enforcement campaign today

Officers will conduct roadside checks across Brampton and Mississauga from today until the end of the year to deter impaired driving.

By the Sauga 960 newsroom · · 1 min read

Peel Regional Police and MADD Canada are starting the 2026 Festive Reduce Impaired Driving Everywhere (RIDE) Campaign today. The initiative will run from November 13 until December 31 to improve road safety during the holiday season.

Officers from Road Safety Services and other departments will perform roadside checks in Brampton and Mississauga. The goal of this annual program is to discourage people from driving while under the influence of alcohol, drugs, or prescription medication.

Peel Regional Police say, "Impaired driving remains a serious threat to public safety and puts everyone on our roads at risk."

The campaign uses a mix of public education and visible enforcement to stop impaired driving before it happens. Police continue to work on identifying and removing impaired drivers from the roads throughout the entire year.

MADD Canada stated that every impaired driver taken off the road is an opportunity to prevent injuries and save lives. The organization works with police to encourage people to make responsible choices behind the wheel.

The public is encouraged to prioritize safety by planning a safe ride home. For non-emergencies, the public can call 905-453-3311.
