LETHBRIDGE, AB—The University of Lethbridge (U of L) Pronghorns is gearing up to launch a service to ensure people get home safely.

Luxie Lifts is a volunteer-run initiative where over 170 Pronghorn student-athletes will help to drive you and your vehicle after a night out.

Formerly known as Operation Red Nose, people can call the Luxie Lifts Call Centre on its six days of Community Nights.

• November 29 and 30 from 9:30 p.m. to 2:00 a.m.
• December 6, 7, 13, 14 from 9:30 p.m. to 2:00 a.m.

While there is no fee to use the service during the Community Nights, rides are based on donations that directly benefit student-athletes at the university.
