MADD Canada Hosts 7th Annual Saskatchewan Provincial Monument Ceremony

SASKATOON, Saskatchewan, June 04, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- A ceremony will be held at MADD Canada’s Saskatchewan Provincial Monument to honour those who have been killed in crashes involving alcohol, cannabis and/other drugs. The Monument, located on the grounds of Saskatoon City Hall, is etched with the names of 69 victims, including two new names added this year.

The ceremony provides an opportunity to grieve, to remember, and to raise awareness about the dangers of driving after consuming alcohol, cannabis and/or other drugs. Each name added to the Monument represents a preventable tragedy — and a reason to keep advocating for safer roads.

Media are invited to attend the ceremony. Interviews with special guests will be available upon request.

Since 2009, MADD Canada has established Memorial Monuments for victims of impaired driving in New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Newfoundland and Labrador, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta, Quebec, and Ontario. Ceremonies are held each year to unveil new names added to the Monuments and to pay tribute to all victims. We are currently working to establish Memorial Monuments in Prince Edward Island and British Columbia.
