Even though this will be a New Year's like no other, residents are still reminded not to get behind the wheel if you have been drinking.

SGI put out a reminder that police will be out Thursday and check stops will be in place throughout the province looking for those drinking and driving.

While many may decide to stay home, the current public health order allows bars and lounges to serve alcohol until 11 p.m.

If you have been drinking, get a ride from someone sober in your household or call a taxi, rideshare, or public transit.
