The NRP report that between November 23rd and December 6th, 15 people received impaired driving charges.

In addition, they were also issued with a 90 day license suspension.

Six of the offenders are from Niagara Falls, five are from St. Catharines, two are from Welland, one is from Fort Erie, and one is from Stoney Creek.

In some cases, the charges stem from impaired driving by drugs or alcohol, and in others, the driver refused to provide a breath sample.

The NRP reminds you that impaired driving is the leading cause of criminal deaths in the country.
