About Us

HomeJames is a registered, non-profit community program operated by volunteers and dedicated to saving lives by providing free designated driver services for impaired drivers in their vehicles.  

HomeJames provides its designated driver service on more than a dozen weekend nights plus New Years Eve during the Holiday Season. In our years of operation, Ontario Provincial Police reported there were no fatal accidents on nights HomeJames provided its services.  

HomeJames' objectives included creating a greater awareness of the dangers of impaired driving and promoting road safety.  

HomeJames accepts donations from clients provided with our designated driver service. Proceeds will be used for administrating costs. Left over proceeds will be directed to community based organizations in Caledon.
