Ontario Students Against Impaired Driving (OSAID)

OSAID is a registered charity in Ontario that began operating in the 1980s. Today this organization reaches more than 300,000 students annually. Just within the past decade OSAID has graduated over 20,000 youth leaders who are now living, working, and driving in every community throughout Ontario.

OSAID manages 400 chapters and 5000 volunteers annually, utilizing 200,000 volunteer hours to reduce driver risk and injury in the province of Ontario.  Chapters are managed through the use of adult and youth Advisory Councils covering 13 regions in Ontario. OSAID's annual provincial conference provides training, leadership, programs, resources, and inspiration for more than 300 students and student leaders. OSAID’s four-day conference held in Oakville each year engages youth and provides them with the information they need to prevent impaired driving in their respective communities.

Materials are available for students and for teachers/other adult supervisors to guide their event planning and chapter development. Ideas for school assemblies, networking within communities, local workshops, and other special events are all compiled for chapters to implement and build upon.
