Operation Red Nose expecting busy weekend with Christmas parties

Operation Red Nose is coming off of a good weekend in Prince George with 72 rides.

Co-Chair, Dolly Hilton says the number is on par with last year, but notes it’s not even close to pre-covid numbers.

She believes it’ll get busier for volunteers.

“I think a lot of people have their office party and family party this coming up weekend. We have quite a few teams waiting, and available.”

Hilton says they’re averaging around $40 a ride in donations, adding it may be a little lower than last year’s average.

They are looking for more volunteers for New Years Eve, as it’s the busiest time, with rides only being within city limits.

Operation Red Nose runs every Friday and Saturday except the final day on Tuesday, December 31st.

More information and where to volunteer can be found on Operation Red Nose’s website here.
