Here Are Some Great Services to Get You Home Safely New Year’s Eve!
The countdown is nearly on, and like many of you, we’re excited to raise a glass and welcome the New Year tomorrow night! We hope everyone has a fun and festive evening, but now is a good time to consider how you’ll get home after the party; according to Mothers Against Drunk Driving, New Year’s Day is one of the most dangerous of the year for drunk driving on Canada’s roadways.
Here in Red Deer, we’re lucky enough to have several great options for getting home, ensuring a safe start to 2017:
Have you heard of DD Take Home? It’s a designated driving service operating in the Red Deer area with a mission to make the roads safe for citizens and visitors alike. When you book a ride with DD Take Home, a two-person team will make sure that both you AND your vehicle make it home safely. Even if you live a bit further afield in Central Alberta or have a larger party that needs a ride, DD Take Home will do their best to accommodate you, just give them a call. Note DD Take Home is not a taxi service, and you must have a vehicle to be moved in order to use their services.
It’s so easy to book a ride, either call 587-876-4412 or book online at www.DDtakehome.ca
Red Deer Driver Take Home & Delivery also provides a safe, responsible alternative to drinking and driving and eliminates the hassle of picking up your vehicle the next day. They also offer 24/7 food delivery, as well as liquor delivery so you can keep your party going safely!
Call 587-377-0111 to book.
Of course there are traditional taxis ready to get you home safely also. Here are a couple useful numbers for you:
Associated Cab has been serving Red Deer and surrounding communities since 1978 and is now the largest fleet of taxis in the Red Deer area.
Call Associated Cab for a ride at 403-434-3300 or 403-346-2222.
You can also book a ride on the Associated Cab app! Available for download on the App Store.
Alberta Gold Taxi has been serving Red Deer and surrounding areas 24/7 for nearly 20 years!
Call 403-341-7777 to book or book a ride on the Alberta Gold Taxi app! Available for download on the App Store.
Whichever safe option you choose to get you home, all of us here at Todayville are wishing you and your loved ones a safe and happy New Year!

Winners announced for Red Deer Hospital Lottery
The Red Deer Regional Health Foundation has announced the winners of the 2024 Red Deer Hospital Lottery Dream Home and Tiny Home prize packages, as well as the Mega Bucks 50.
The Mega Bucks 50 jackpot reached $607,200.00, which makes Carolyn Pelerine of Cochrane, Alberta the winner of $303,600.00.
In addition, the luxurious Tree Hugger Tiny Home Prize Package, complete with accessories by Urban Barn and valued at $163,798.00, is now owned by Mary Vincent of Red Deer.
The coveted Sorento Dream Home Prize Package, which includes furnishings and accessories by Urban Barn and boasts a total value of $1,072,624.00, has been awarded to Maxine Rumohr of Sylvan Lake.
The highly anticipated draw took place at 10:00 a.m. Thursday at the Red Deer Regional Health Foundation office, located within the Red Deer Regional Hospital Centre, with an announcement following live on Facebook, allowing participants and supporters to join in the excitement virtually.
“We are delighted to congratulate the winners of this year’s Red Deer Hospital Lottery,” said Manon Therriault, Chief Executive Officer of the Red Deer Regional Health Foundation. “The funds raised from this lottery will significantly contribute to enhancing patient care and services at the Red Deer Regional Hospital Centre. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to everyone who participated and supported this important cause.”
Proceeds from the Red Deer Hospital Lottery and Mega Bucks 50 will contribute to acquiring critically needed, state-of-the-art equipment for several units at the Red Deer Hospital.
This year’s lottery will fund equipment such as a phototherapy system, which allows parents to hold and soothe their infant while undergoing phototherapy, a cardiology case cart to monitor cardiac rhythms during stress testing, and other equipment to help provide excellent care for patients in the emergency and operating rooms at the Red Deer Hospital.
The winners of a variety of electronics were also drawn today. A full list of winners will be available in the coming days on the official lottery website at reddeerhospitallottery.ca. Prize winners who have not already been notified will receive a letter in the mail with instructions on how to claim their prizes.
The keys to the Sorento Dream Home and the Tree Hugger Tiny Home will be presented to the winners at a special ceremony this summer.
