While one Christmas initiative is out in the dust, another is coming back.

With the Christmas season starting, the charge to drive responsibly will be prevalent in Airdrie.

Unfortunately, one National Initiative won't be setting up in the city due to a lack of interest.

According to David Latouche from Operation Red Nose, "the program will not operate in Airdrie as no local host organization has shown interest to host the campaign in the area".

Luckily, there'll soon be a plan in place as local film producer Mitch George and his brother Lucas are hoping to offer safe rides for Christmas and New Year's once again.

George says that they're still in the planning process as they look for a new strategy and sponsors to join them this season.
