Well it is hard to believe that another year has gone by, and here we are again, Paws for a Cause ti me.

Paws for a Cause is the BCSPCA’s largest fundraiser of the year and province wide generates close to 1 million dollars for abandoned, abused, and neglected animals that come into the care of our organizati on. Our goal in Campbell River this year is to raise $10,000 and we hope that members of our community will come out and walk with us to fi ght animal cruelty. Parti cipants can register online at spca.bc.ca/walk and help us fundraise for this amazing event. Our event this year will have a bouncer, which is sponsored by Campbell River Pet Centre, a face painter, games, acti viti es, and of course prizes. Marine Harvest will be hosti ng their famous Salmon BBQ for a minimum donati on of $5, and they will match all donati ons generated from the BBQ! Dog Days photography is joining us again this year and will be taking photos for a minimum $5 donati on. We will also have three contests for dogs, best behaved, best trick and a bowl licking contest. This year’s event is gearing up to be a fun one so don’t miss out!

The BCSPCA –Campbell River branch has gone through some tough ti mes over the past year and a half, but we are sti ll as committ ed to helping the animals of our community as we have ever been. Over the past year we have secured a new facility, applied for a rezoning applicati on, and were granted zoning, signed a three year lease with the Francophone Associati on de Campbell River, had a fl oor plan draft ed approved and fi nalized, lined up a general contractor to do all of our renovati ons, applied for building permits and

have renovati ons currently just about to wrap up. Our opening day is literally just around the corner, and what a bett er to welcome us back to the community but with Paws for a Cause.

I would like to thank the community of Campbell River for their conti nued pati ence and their conti nued support. Even though we have not had a physical branch since April 2013, we defi nitely have been busy within the community. On October 22, 2013 the Campbell River Branch implemented our Spay and Neuter program for residents of Campbell River, awarded to us by PetSmart Chariti es of Canada. This grant allows us to spay or neuter, owned, stray or feral cats within Campbell River. Not yet a year into the program we are approaching 700 cats that have been spayed or neutered through this grant. This incenti ve has been an amazing opportunity to help control our growing cat overpopulati on in Campbell River. We sti ll have one year left with the program and sti ll have funds to spay or neuter another 800 cats, so please contact us if you have a cat that needs to be spayed or neutered.

Exciti ng ti me are fast approaching for the BCSPCA –Campbell River Branch, we can’t wait to be able to show off our new facility at 891 13th Avenue to the community and look forward to seeing you all again soon.

Best Regards, Stephanie Arkwright BCSPCA-Campbell River Community Animal Centre Branch Manager

Some animals never know kindness. The good news is, you can fight

animal cruelty in your community by registering and fundraising for the 2014 Scotiabank & BC SPCA Paws for a Cause walk, held each September to raise funds for abused, injured, neglected and homeless animals throughout B.C. This year, participants in 31 communities throughout the province will walk to raise funds to help animals in need across British Columbia.

The Scotiabank & BC SPCA Paws for a Cause walk to fight animal cruelty in Campbell River will be held at Nunns Creek Park on Sunday, Sept. 7 from 9:30 a.m. with the walk starting at 11 a.m. Proceeds from the Campbell River walk will benefit animals at the Campbell River SPCA. Participants can enjoy a variety of entertainment and fun activities, including fun dog games such as the bowl-licking contest, face-painting, a salmon barbecue hosted by Marine Harvest with the company matching all donations generated from the barbecue up to $1,500, top fundraising prizes, and bouncy castle for children.

Generously supported by our local sponsors – CTV, Campbell River Mirror,

2DayFM 99.7 the Radio Station, Strathcona Toyota, MacTavish Welding, Great Canadian Oil Change, Seymour Pacific Developments LTD., Campbell River Pet Centre, Associated Tire Auto, Shar-Kare Feeds & Pet Supplies, Dogwood Pet Mart, Marine Harvest, and RH Printing & Graphic Design– the event brings animal lovers and their furry friends from all walks of life together for a great time as well as a fantastic cause.

“This is the largest single event to help fight animal cruelty in British Columbia,” says Krista Constantineau, manager of fundraising events at the BC SPCA. “We are overwhelmed by the amazing participation each year – it’s so great to see thousands of people come together across the province to help B.C.’s most vulnerable animals. Our supporters not only raise essential funds, the events are so much fun for two-legged and four-legged participants.”

Thank you to our provincial sponsors: Scotiabank, Petsecure Pet Health Insurance, PwC, Global BC, CKNW AM 980, Classic Rock 101, and TV Week.
