Resources (Impaired Driving)

In collaboration with our partners and stakeholders, CCSA develops evidence-based resources to educate and to improve public awareness about impaired driving issues. We involve our target audiences (e.g., youth) in designing our products to ensure that the resources are appealing and engaging to them.

On this page you will find a range of infographics, handouts, social media messages and other resources to address questions many people have about alcohol, cannabis, prescription medications and other drugs and driving.

Resources and public information on related topics can be found on our Youth and Emerging Adults, Public Education (Cannabis), Resources (Alcohol) and Educators pages.
