It's a program for those who plan their activities ahead of time. When is it?: December 1, 7, 8, 14, 15, 21, 22, 28, 29, 2001, Friday & Saturday nights: 2100hrs - 0300hrs. Where is it?: Throughout North Vancouver. For more information contact 604-619-0942 How can you help? : - Join the hundreds of volunteers who participate in the program. You could be a driver, a navigator driver of the escort vehicle or work in the headquarter in the hospitality or call taking area. - Use the service if you can or need to, you will find it's a lot of fun, and you will meet some great people who will take good care of you and your car. - If you have connections in the corporate world, Tax deductible Corporate Donations are what keeps the program alive. Private donations are also tax deductible. Additional Info: ICBC covers both the clients and the volunteers who use their own cars to drive from call to call. So liability is not an issue. All volunteers have cell phones sponsored by TELUS. PetroCanada sponsors the gas. Other hospitality incentives for volunteers include: refreshments, food. The headquarters for North/West Vancouver is the Capilano Claims Center at the foot of Lloyd Ave. The volunteers are not competing with local taxi companies. They are a driving alternative to the concern of impaired driving, as well as, an alternative for those who find themselves too tired to drive at the end of the evening, or who are uncomfortable driving in bad weather conditions. For those of you who are newcomers to the North Shore, here is a real opportunity to see a more pleasant side and even use the concept as a "community project" for your cadet program. The program does not go into or pick up from Vancouver. ..
