Saturday, February 22, 2014 and Sunday, February 23, 2014, will mark the last two days of the Sochi Winter Olympics. These coincide with the final Olympic events, including men's hockey.

The City of Toronto passed a motion which will allow alcohol to be served beginning at 7 a.m., on Saturday, February 22, 2014 and Sunday, February 23, 2014.

The Toronto Police Service reminds everyone who will be driving throughout these events to be responsible, plan ahead, and to make smart choices about your transportation.

Use of transit, designated drivers, and taxi services are all excellent options for safe transportation to, and from, your destination.

Officers will be monitoring the roads, looking for drivers who may be operating vehicles while impaired by alcohol or drugs. The Toronto Police Service is dedicated to the elimination of impaired driving on our roads.

The Toronto Police Service is also encouraging citizens to assist police in the war against impaired driving by calling 9-1-1 if they believe another driver may be impaired.

The message is clear: DO NOT DRINK OR USE DRUGS AND DRIVE.
