It's been a busy holiday season for Operation Red Nose, coordinator Leo LaPointe says he still needs about five teams for this weekend. That means approximately 15-20 volunteers are still needed. He adds that anyone wanting to volunteer can go down to the local RCMP detachment and fill out a free criminal record check.

LaPointe says that the more people who volunteer, the shorter the wait times for people using the service. A shorter wait time will hopefully mean fewer people deciding to drive. He notes that they have another five days running with the two biggest being this Friday and Saturday.

Operation Red Nose will run from 9 pm to 3 am and the number to call is 204-239-5570. Any donations go towards Portage Minor Hockey.
