Star of the North (IMPACT)

IMPACT is a weekend live-in alcohol and/or drug use assessment and pre-treatment course for repeat impaired drivers with two or more convictions in a 10-year period. The goals of IMPACT are to prevent impaired driving and reduce other alcohol and/or drug related problems in its participants. IMPACT is held in Calgary, Edmonton, and St Albert, and is delivered to more than 1,000 participants annually. We will be presenting to impaired drivers who are forced to attend.

This is a Public Information Event. Our committee does presentations to help educate individuals who struggle with alcohol learn about the program of Alcoholics Anonymous and where to find us.

It is advised that you show up at least 30 minutes before “go time.” The address is 3A St. Vital Avenue St. Albert (see attached map). Please follow designated parking instructions. The phone number is 780-459-5511
