Chestermere, Alta. - Chestermere RCMP removed three impaired drivers from the road during proactive traffic enforcement in the city on the night of Oct. 22, 2026. All three drivers received immediate roadside driver’s licence suspensions and applicable administrative penalties under Alberta’s impaired driving legislation.

Chestermere RCMP encourage residents to:
- Arrange a designated driver, taxi, rideshare or other safe transportation before an event.
- Never get behind the wheel after consuming alcohol or impairing drugs.
