Operation Red Nose: A Well-Tuned Ride Home

We are Heading Toward the 42nd Operation Red Nose Campaign

 

Operation Red Nose is officially launching its 42^nd safe ride campaign that will take place from November 28^th to December 31^st, 2025. Throughout the holiday season, thousands of volunteers will join forces in 60 host communities across the country, some 40 of which are in the province of Quebec.

With the unwavering support of its long-time partners Desjardins and the Société de l’assurance automobile du Québec, Operation Red Nose invites the population to make the right choice when returning home after a festive evening and to experience “a Well-Tuned Ride Home”, the theme for the 2025 campaign.

This campaign is betting on the participation of the population, both to use the service and to volunteer either on the road or at headquarters. People interested in signing-up for one or more evenings of volunteering may register online immediately by clicking here or by downloading the Red Nose mobile app, available on Google Play and the App Store. Each volunteer night not only contributes to creating unique memories, but also to making roads safer for everyone.

 

La Bottine Souriante

To set the tone for this 42^nd campaign, La Bottine Souriante will be grabbing the mic as spokespeople. As the undeniable maestros of Québecois folk music, they are lending their voice and lively beat to carry the message of Operation Red Nose across the province. With their undeniable cheerfulness, they strike the right chord and help the population tune into safety and solidarity.

 

A Mission That Goes Beyond the Ride

Since its beginning in 1984, Operation Red Nose has made a tangible difference in communities, with all donations received during each campaign helping support local youth or amateurs sports organizations. The 2025 campaign is no exception, helping all participating communities benefit from financial proceeds to support their mission, on top of making local roads safer.
