TORONTO, Dec. 13,
2022 /CNW/ - For the eighth year, Corby Spirit and
Wine is collaborating with the TTC to provide free, safe rides for
all Torontonians as they ring in the New Year with
#CorbySafeRides.
Whether it's the pitter-patter of a pet's paws on the floor, the
high-pitched squeals of a child's laughter or the unconditional
love from a parent, grandparent, or partner - Corby wants you to
celebrate New Year's Eve safely by providing you with a way to get
back to the people and pets who love you the most.
"We are very proud to partner with the TTC once again to help
Torontonians get to and from their celebrations safely on such a
busy night. After an evening of celebration, going back safely to
your loved ones should never be an afterthought" asserted
Nicolas Krantz, President, Chief
Executive Officer of Corby. "As a consumer-centric company, Corby
will continue to encourage and remind all Canadians about
responsible consumption."
Starting December 31st after
7 p.m., all TTC streetcars, buses and
subways will be free of charge until 8
a.m. on January 1st.
"The TTC is proud to once again partner with Corby to offer
complimentary service to our customers this New Year's Eve," said
Rick Leary, CEO of the Toronto
Transit Commission. "Safety is our number one priority, and we
encourage everyone to celebrate responsibly this holiday season and
take the TTC."
To date, Corby has provided more than 1.2 million free rides to
people celebrating New Year's Eve in Toronto as part of its annual #CorbySafeRides
campaign.
"Corby Safe Rides is a great
example of how targeted preventive actions are an effective way of
reminding people that drinking and driving should never be an
option" adds Valerie Brive-Turtle, Senior Director of
Communications, Public Relations and S&R. "As a leading
manufacturer and distributor of spirits and wines in Canada, Corby has a responsibility to
encourage and educate everyone on the importance of safe and
responsible consumption".
