Road safety
Road safety speaker
Markita Kaulius
Topics: choices and consequences of impaired driving, alternatives to get home safely
Markita's 22 year-old daughter, Kassandra, was coming home from coaching a softball game in Surrey when she was t-boned by an impaired driver and killed in 2011. The impaired driver had been celebrating hockey playoffs and ended up spending 16 months in jail.
She shares her experience with students to show what a family and community goes through when a loved one is killed by an impaired driver. These tragedies could be avoided if the driver had made a different choice.
Markita is the founder of Families for Justice Society, a non-profit support group for parents who have lost a child or loved one to an impaired driver.
