Its been ten years since Alexa’s Team was formed, after four-year-old Alexa Middelaer was killed by a drunk driver.

“It’s harder now because I feel it. There were officers up on stage who whispered things to me and my husband said I don’t know how we can continue on, but it’s a good thing to feel.”

– Alexa’s mother Laurel Middelaer

In 2017, Alexa’s Team Northern BC removed 927 impaired drivers from the road.
