Braaten said volunteers can choose to work one night, a weekend or the whole season. Volunteer teams consist of a driver, an escort driver, and a navigator to ensure individuals and their vehicles get home safe.  And there is plenty of food and hot beverages thanks to local sponsors.

Anyone interested can call (306)763-6673 or email either rbraaten@sasktel.net or princealbert@operationrednose.com. 

Volunteers are required to provide a criminal record check which will be provided free of charge by the Prince Albert Police Service or the RCMP with a letter from Operation Red Nose. 

Money for schools 

The service is free but donations are welcomed and the Prince Albert Lions Club has selected area elementary schools as the recipients of these donations. As a result of the 2025 campaign, $7,700 was donated to 11 elementary schools in Prince Albert and area. 

“Since 2018, it amounts to over $42,700 we’ve donated back to the elementary schools and they really appreciate it,” Braaten said. 

Other participating communities include Saskatoon and the Battlefords. SGI has also once again signed on as a provincial partner. 

For more information, the public is encouraged to visit operationrednose.com and download the Operation Red Nose mobile app. 

Once the program launches, people in the Prince Albert area who need a ride can call (306) 763-NOSE (6673).
