4 MADD Winnipeg is a 100% volunteer driven local charity (with no salaried staff); a grassroots organization that is committed to ending impaired driving in Manitoba and supporting the victims of this violent crime. At the heart of MADD Winnipeg are the members who may include victims, as well as concerned citizens, not just mothers, but also fathers, friends, acquaintances, fellow coworkers, business professionals, experts in the anti-impaired driving field and individuals who want to make a difference in our fight to end impaired driving. Local chapters and Community Leaders are affiliated with MADD Canada and are the local eyes, ears and voice of MADD Canada. The success and survival of MADD Canada s Winnipeg Chapter is dependent solely on the generous support of local caring individuals and the sponsoring of our local corporate community. MADD Winnipeg s aim is to offer support services to local victims, heighten public awareness about the ramifications of drinking and driving, and to save lives and prevent crashes and reduce the waste of medical, legal and emergency response resources and lost productivity and property damage. Driving while under the influence of alcohol/drugs is a devastating and violent crime that touches the lives and pocketbooks of all Manitobans. It is a senseless, selfish, irresponsible, dangerous choice of action. We believe impaired are not ; the consequences are the result of person(s) with impaired judgment making poor decisions.
