Sudbury's Operation Red Nose provided a total of 1,639 rides this holiday season.
Volunteers drove more than 6,500 people home and covered a distance of 44,695 kilometres in the process – more than the Earth's circumference.
While Operation Red Nose feared it might not have enough volunteers for New Year's Eve – its busiest night of the year – enough people came forward to form 24 teams that operated from 8 p.m. to 4 a.m.
Those teams safely drove 805 people home that night.
Sudbury's 18th annual Operation Red Nose campaign was the most successful in Canada outside of Quebec, a press release said.
