(MENAFN- GlobeNewsWire - Nasdaq) OAKVILLE, Ontario, Nov. 04, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- MADD Canada will host a ceremony to unveil a new roadside memorial sign in honour of Rebecca Beatty, a 22-year-old who was tragically killed by an impaired driver on October 3, 2021 in Trenton. The unveiling ceremony will take place at Old Highway 2 near RCAF Road in Trenton, near the crash site where Rebecca was killed.

Rebecca Beatty was driving home when her car was struck head-on by an impaired driver. The impact sent her vehicle spinning, flipping, and pushing it back approximately 100 feet. She was killed instantly, leaving an irreplaceable void in the lives of everyone who knew her. Rebecca was a beloved daughter, sister, friend, baker, and devoted fur mom. Rebecca's parents, Connie and Mark, her sister, Victoria and her animals feel her absence every day.

Media are invited to attend and hear from guests. Interviews and photo opportunities will be available.
