With the ceremonial release of red and white balloons, pictured above, one of MADD Canada’s largest National Conferences for Victims of Impaired Driving came to a close. Nearly 285 victims and survivors of impaired driving left the event with information, resources, connections and, most importantly, the knowledge that they are not alone.

“We are saddened by the fact that there are so many new victims of impaired driving, but we are dedicated to supporting them,” said MADD Canada National President Angeliki Souranis. “Nothing can take away our pain or the challenges we face, but the information, fellowship and resources offered at our conference provides victims and survivors some measure of comfort and reassurance as we try to adjust to our new realities.”

“Stories of the Heart” was the theme for MADD Canada’s 2014 National Conference for Victims of Impaired Driving, held in Toronto from April 25 to 27. Over the course of the weekend conference, delegates had the opportunity to share their stories, hear the stories of others and participate in a variety of workshops and keynote addresses designed to offer information, insight and support to help them take the next steps in their journeys.

MADD Canada’s Conference for French-Speaking Victims of Impaired Driving was held in Laval in May. There too, victims and survivors were able to come together to share their grief, their experiences and their strength, while learning about supportive resources and tools.

Highlighting both conferences were the Candlelight Vigils of Hope and Remembrance where delegates gathered to see candles lit in honour of the loved ones they have lost or the injuries they have suffered.

Highlights of our Busy Spring Season

MADD Canada and its Chapters and Community Leaders have had a busy spring season and I’d like to share just a few of the highlights. We hosted our annual National Conference for Victims of Impaired Driving in Toronto in April, and our Conference for French-speaking victims in Laval in May. It is hard to describe how these can be so sad and yet so inspiring at the same time. It was heartbreaking to meet so many families who have been devastated by someone’s act of impaired driving. But it was comforting to know that they now have links to resources, support and people who can offer some small measure of help as they cope with their losses. This – our support of victims of impaired driving – is the single most important thing MADD Canada does.

We launched our Strides for Change season in May. The annual walk and run supports Chapters and Community Leaders in their fundraising and awareness efforts. Congratulations to those groups who have hosted events already, and best of luck to those whose events are still to come over the summer. If you’re interested in finding out more about Strides for Change, visit www.stridesforchange.ca.

Over the spring, I had the honour of being invited to a provincial Candlelight Vigil in Prince Edward Island, and to the annual ceremony for the provincial Memorial Monument in Newfoundland and Labrador. Both were beautiful ceremonies which honoured those impacted by impaired driving. I was touched both by the dedication of the volunteers who organized and hosted

these important events, and by the strength shown by all who attended to honour their loved ones.

In May, a small group of MADD Canada volunteers visited Ottawa to meet with Members of Parliament (MPs). In what has become an annual event, we visited with selected MPs to talk about impaired driving and about how we as a country can do more to prevent this terrible crime and its tragic repercussions. In the past, we have spoken with elected officials about mandatory alcohol screening and about tougher sentences for impaired driving. This year, we drew their attention to the need for better methods of tackling the drug-impaired driving problem in Canada. A general overview of the information we discussed is on Page 7.

Check out the rest of this issue, and specifically the Chapter Notebook section on Pages 9-13, for more on what we have been up to over the past few months.

Looking ahead, planning is well underway for our National Chapter Leadership Conference at the end of September. I look forward to bringing you news on that and our other work in the next issue of MADD Matters. Until then, I wish you all a fun, safe and healthy summer season.

Allstate Agents Use Special Program to Benefit MADD Canada Chapters Allstate Canada supports many of MADD Canada’s initiatives on a national scale as sponsors of Project Red Ribbon, Campaign 911, and the School Assembly Program just to name a few. But what many don’t know is that Allstate Canada also gives its staff an opportunity to support MADD Canada on a more personal level by providing donations to employees and agents who volunteer with charities where they live and work.

This internal program, which has been operating for over a decade and provides one-time donations of up to $1,000, sees MADD Canada Chapters in various communities receive funds thanks to a unique program that encourages Allstate Canada agents to become Trusted Community Partners and assist in local initiatives.

In the first half of 2014 alone, Allstate Agents have used this program to secure over $7,000 in donations for MADD Canada Chapters in Sarnia/Lambton, Fredericton, Saint John, Hamilton, Windsor/Essex County, York Region and Barrie/Simcoe.

This funding has supported various MADD Canada Chapter initiatives including Strides for Change walk-a-thons, special fundraisers, and administrative costs to help local Chapters continue their operations and all the good work they do in their communities. Participation on a grass roots level is one of the reasons Allstate Canada and MADD Canada work well together, and it’s great to see that Allstate provides their agents with tools that reward their volunteerism with money that can be used to support MADD Canada’s goal of making our communities safer.

MADD Canada Chief Executive Officer Andrew Murie was on hand as PEI Liquor Commission launched a new initiative to support MADD Canada. A portion of the proceeds from the sales of bags of ice will now come to MADD Canada. Our thanks to the PEI Liquor Commission for their ongoing partnership and their continual efforts to look for new ways to support MADD Canada’s mission.

Aftermath – Our 2014-2015 School Assembly ProgramAftermath, MADD Canada’s newest School Assembly Program, features the story of Charlie, as told from the perspective of his younger brother Mark. When Charlie decides to drive after drinking and smoking pot – and convinces his best friend elliott to go with him – the resulting crash leaves a devastating aftermath. Struggling to deal with his feelings, Mark makes a video about Charlie’s terrible decision to drive impaired and the resulting consequences.

Following the fictional story, viewers will see the experiences of three real-life victims of impaired driving:

• Amutha Subramaniam was driving home with four friends when, just minutes from their destination, they were hit by a suspected impaired driver.

• Nicholas Antonelli was walking home from a neighbour’s party when he was hit by a 17-year-old impaired driver.

• Kylee Wallace was killed in a crash after accepting a ride from a driver who had been drinking.

Our sincerest thanks to the families of Amutha, Nicholas and Kylee for bravely sharing their stories.

Aftermath will debut in schools across Canada in September 2014.

MADD Canada offers its deepest thanks to the many organizations, corporations and companies which provide generous support for the production and delivery of our School Assembly Program, including: Allstate Insurance Company of Canada, Kia Canada Inc., LCBO, Manitoba Public Insurance and RTL-Westcan. For a full list of our School Assembly Program sponsors, please see page 15.

Campaign 911 UnderwayMADD Canada launched its annual Campaign 911 program on the Victoria Day weekend in May with a press release and the debut of our latest television public service announcement, Backyard Patio.

The risk of impaired driving is traditionally higher during the summer months and on long weekends. All summer long, MADD Canada will be reminding Canadians to keep themselves and one another safe by following these simple rules:

• Don’t drive a car, boat, ATV or any other vehicle while impaired;

• Don’t get into a vehicle operated by someone who is impaired;

• Call 911 if you see a driver you suspect is impaired.

MADD Canada Chapters and Community Leaders join their local police and other partners to promote Campaign 911. Since the start of our Campaign 911 program in 2007, Call 911 programs have been established in Newfoundland & Labrador, Prince Edward Island, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Ontario, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta, British Columbia, and Yukon.

In 2010, the campaign was extended to the waterways in recognition of the fact that alcohol plays a significant role in about 40% of the recreational boating fatalities that occur each year. With financial contributions from Transport Canada, more than 350 “Don’t Boat Impaired” signs have been installed at harbours, marinas and boat launches across the country.

MADD Canada is pleased to announce that Transport Canada awarded us a new three-year grant this spring to continue our work to reduce impaired boating through increased signage, public service announcements and other initiatives.

For more on Campaign 911, please visit madd.ca.

Annual General Meeting Notice MADD Canada hosts its Annual General Meeting (AGM) on September 26 at the Bank of Montreal Institute for Learning in Toronto, ontario. The AGM is followed by the National Chapter Leadership Conference which runs from September 26 to 28. For more information on the conference, please contact avicioso@madd.ca.

Developing Effective Drug-Impaired Driving CountermeasuresDrug-impaired driving has become a significant part of the overall impaired driving problem. In fact, it’s probably a bigger problem than alcohol-impaired driving among some groups, such as young people.

Police have the authority to demand physical coordination tests (Standard Field Sobriety Tests and Drug Recognition Evaluations) if they suspect drug impairment in a driver. But despite those powers, the rate of drug-impaired driving charges is extremely low. Just 1.9% of all the impaired driving charges laid in 2012 were drug-related. (That’s 1,126 charges out of 59,777).

Data suggests the average user would have to make 550 trips after using marijuana before being charged once. That reinforces the existing perception that people can drive after drug use with little fear of being caught.

Canada’s current system of identifying, investigating and prosecuting drug-impaired drivers is not working. The enforcement process would be more accurate and efficient if drivers could be physically tested for drugs the same way they can be tested for alcohol. The technology to test a driver’s drug level using a simple road side saliva test, much like the breathalyzer device for alcohol, is available and is currently being used in other countries.

MADD Canada believes this system of testing is needed in Canada to ensure those who put the public at risk by driving while impaired by drugs are caught. Here are the steps that need to be taken, on federal and provincial levels, to bring oral fluid roadside testing for drugs to Canada.

Roadmap to Effective Drug-Impaired Legislation in Canada

Phase 2 Testing• Law enforcement personnel test oral fluid roadside screening devices • Recommendations of standards of use for oral fluid roadside screening devices

Federal Legislation Required• Approval of use of oral roadside

screening devices• Establish driving limits for drugs• Require 2nd test for oral fluid screening

devices for individuals who fail first screening test

Provincial Legislation Required• Approval for use of oral fluid roadside

screening devices• Provincial administrative sanctions for

failing roadside screening for drugs should match sanctions for failing roadside screening for alcohol

* The drug limits being considered are well above any therapeutic ranges and as such avoid risk of charges for drivers who are taking a prescribed drug under the direction of their physician.

Phase 1 Testing• Test oral fluid screening devices • Report on oral fluid roadside screening device sensitivity, specificity and reliability

Enhancing MADD Canada’s Services to Victims/SurvivorsIn 2013, MADD Canada commissioned a survey by Ipsos Canada of victims/survivors who have been supported by MADD Canada locally or nationally. on a local level, one-on-one support is provided by trained Victim Services Volunteers (VSVs) and nationally, support is given by trained staff. overall, those surveyed were very satisfied and grateful for the support they received. With the feedback we received, we were able to identify some areas that can be enhanced to better meet the needs of victims/survivors.

Instead of “victim” we are now referring to “victim/survivor”. This is to acknowledge that not everyone is comfortable being called a victim but thinks of themselves as a survivor as well. You will see this change reflected in the materials we are producing and on our web site.

Often it is perceived that our services are for bereaved families only when in fact we also provide free support to those injured. Thanks to a grant from Justice Canada, we were able to produce two new outreach brochures that are being distributed Canada-wide to locations where victims/survivors can pick them up. Locally, our volunteers will continue to do outreach to both injured and bereaved victims/survivors. Calls and emails from victims/survivors are top priority and we have put measures in place to ensure that they are answered within 24 hours.

It has generally been our practice to wait until victims/survivors contact us for assistance. However, many respondents would have liked to know that support was available for them earlier. MADD Canada has “MADD Canada is here for you.....you are not alone” cards that can be given to families soon after a crash. These cards list our contact information and include inserts outlining the free services we offer. There are different inserts for bereaved families and for those injured.

We have always offered support through the criminal justice system, preparing and presenting victim impact statements and regular one-on-one contact. The survey showed that victims/survivors would appreciate ongoing support until they identify that they no longer need it. This will be included in our volunteer training program.

We developed “Thinking of You” cards that can be used to acknowledge difficult days like the crash anniversary.

We’ve expanded our resources for victims/survivors. We now have a total of 18 brochures on our web site that can be downloaded.

In addition to our support services, victim/survivors want to know what MADD Canada is doing to stop impaired driving. Our web site for Victim/Survivor Services has been changed to make our public policy and prevention initiatives much more visible. We’ve also added an historical timeline on the ongoing development of our Victim Services programs over the years.

Victims/survivors are our number one priority. We will continue to expand our outreach efforts to let them know they are not alone – we can help. Thank you to all the volunteers who selflessly provide this support locally. Together... we are making a difference.

MADD Hamilton Chapter experienced a very different kind of rainbow on May 9. Here, Darren Murphy, Chapter President accepts a cheque for $1,300 from Grade 6 student Samantha Last and her friends, Sam Kean, Sophia Stratford, Alissa Murray and special guest, Glanbrook Councillor, Brenda Johnson. The four Grade 6 students from Bellmoore Public School spent 10 months making and selling Rainbow Loom bracelets in support of the Chapter and the Last family. In July 2013, the Last family was involved in a fatal head-on collision that killed 42-year-old father, Steve Last. Samantha was hospitalized for a week and remained bedridden when she was released from hospital. She started making the bracelets when she was in the hospital as a way to keep herself busy in the wake of the crash. Samantha’s community, friends and family all came together to support her efforts. Kudos to Samantha Last, one strong, creative and special little girl!

This year, MADD Charlotte County in New Brunswick has been able to partner with a school in their area to host an event called the MADD Marathon. High schools from the Anglophone South District came together to compete in a bike, run, kayak and three-legged race marathon which raised funds for the fight against impaired driving. Schools, teachers, individuals and business in Charlotte County were invited to watch, take part, donate and volunteer in the event. The MADD Marathon has proven to be an excellent way to convey the message – not only to

graduating students at this time of the year but to all citizens of Charlotte County – that we all have a part to play in road safety and we all have a responsibility to make safe choices.

2nd Annual Nick Coates Memorial Car Show Car enthusiasts will be out in force this summer at the 2nd Annual Nick Coates Memorial Car Show on August 24.

The show was founded last August, after 27-year-old Nick Coates was tragically killed in a crash caused by an alleged impaired driver. Brendan Guy, Jordan Murphy, Jeremy Power, Corey Prosser and Edition 709 Car Club (of which they and Nick were founding members) wanted to do something to honour their friend’s memory and show support to his family. Nick was an avid car enthusiast and so a memorial car show seemed an appropriate choice.

The response was overwhelming. Over 400 cars filled the lot at Jack Byrne Arena in Torbay to capacity on that August day. Car enthusiasts, car groups, family and friends raised nearly $22,000 in Nick’s memory. The funds were donated to MADD Avalon Chapter in support of its efforts to stop impaired driving and support victims and survivors of this violent crime. The turnout is all the more incredible because the friends organized the event in just nine days after Nick’s death.

The friends decided immediately to make the show an annual event, and they’re expecting an even bigger turnout this year.

MADD Inverness South was among many Chapters who were able to participate in this season’s annual Strides for Change Walk and Wheelchair Event on May 18. With a focus on raising awareness and funds, several dozen participants enthusiastically completed the 5km walk and enjoyed a day of fun in the sun. Supported by Port Hawkesbury RCMP and 101.5 The Hawk (radio station), walkers were sprayed with paint at each 1km marker along the route. With the colourful finish completed, many went on to the community park to enjoy a BBQ and sign the KIA Pledge Car.
