Operation Red Nose had great volunteer numbers last weekend to ensure those in need of a ride home during the holiday season got one. But they're in need of more help for Saturday. Organizer Leo Lapointe explains it's Red Nose's Corporate Challenge Weekend.

"We have very little teams in right now. I have eight names in and I need a lot more than that," Lapointe says. "We're looking to have at least about eight to ten teams, which is anywhere from 24 to 30 names.

"If we don't get enough volunteers for this weekend or at least Saturday night, we won't be able to go out of town."

Lapointe acknowledges many are currently busy shovelling snow and may not be thinking about submitting an application at the moment. But he wants to inform you that you can volunteer in teams of three, or individually. He adds you can go to the local RCMP detachment to begin the application process and get the free criminal check for Red Nose.
