As I reported here awhile back, MADD Canada had filmed another documentary/informational movie in Milton.  This marks the 3rd time that they have filmed here in Halton.  With the holiday season approaching its once again time for the RIDE Program among other community outreach programs from MADD Canada and other organizations.

The best thing we can do is simply this…don’t drink and drive!  If you see someone who has had too much to drink, please stop them. What might be something small now, can lead to something a lot bigger.  Don’t take that chance.

Here is the article from the Milton Canadian Champion

MADD films video in Milton

MADD Canada visited Milton recently to film a anti-impaired driving awareness video for its annual school assembly program, which is shown to over a million students (Grades 7 to 12) across Canada.

The video is a 40-minute drama, followed by 15 minutes of hard-hitting scenes of real people talking about the loss of their loved ones.

This year’s production, with a working title of – ‘After Party’ – follows best friends Kelly and Natalie as they get ready to attend their school’s fall dance and eventually end up at an after-party with youths drinking and using drugs.

The film ends with an ironic twist, as viewers learn that it’s not only the irresponsible youths who suffer consequences of their actions.

The video’s crash and aftermath scenes were filmed on Louis St. Laurent Avenue, near Bronte Street, involving Halton Police, EMS and Milton Firefighters as extras, representing their respective agencies. The video was shot in both English and French, for distribution nationwide.
