“Impaired driving is the leading criminal cause of death in Canada,” said Const. Andrew Fairman, with the Alcohol and Drug Recognition Unit. “We all want to do our part to reduce the tragic impact of impaired driving.”
What is Mandatory Alcohol Screening?
Mandatory Alcohol Screening (MAS) refers to Criminal Code Section 320.27(2) in which a police officer who has an approved screening device on hand, is able to test a breath sample of any driver they lawfully stop, even without reasonable suspicion that the driver has alcohol in their body.
These changes in screening are a result of recent changes to Canada’s impaired driving laws. More information can be found on the Government of Canada’s website.

Shif and I both agree that The Louder We Get is a big thumbs up for Ward 9 Recommends. The only proper response to the politics of today is rejecting the sense of entitlement we have towards a more equitable and inclusive world as ‘inevitable’; it’s time to get loud in support of the world we want.
But we also recommend The Louder We Get because it is another tour-de-force in Theatre Calgary’s leadership of our City’s world class theatre scene. It’s super-fun, it’s super-uplifting, and it’s technically excellent. We both encourage you to experience it for yourself before it concludes on February 22, 2020.
