2023 Recipient

Saskatchewan Public Insurance (SGI) was recognized for its Find a Safe Ride Campaign, which focuses specifically on changing impaired driving behaviors as impaired driving is the number one contributing factor in fatal collisions in Saskatchewan. The ad's tagline—"Always find a safe ride home"—reminds people it is okay to go out and have fun, but at the end of the night, do the right thing to find a safe ride to get home to your loved ones. While the campaign is inclusive and resonates with a broad range of audiences, its primary goal was to speak to men between the ages of 25 and 34—the group most at risk for impaired driving.
