Should you have an idea or are a volunteer for a local community or charity, please email us and let's work together to create some more fun filled activities together.
We participate in many activities throughout the year and seek to be more involved in the coming years.
Some events to mention are:
The Wiggle Waggle Walkathon - Humane Society
Our Alta Vista and Bayview Animal Hospital teams raised over $15,000 in donations towards the $195,000 total raised at this year's Wiggle Waggle Walkathon. It was quite the event and the team was there in full spirits. We also participated with our very own FREE Doggy Photo Booth to snap a shot of the participants, guests and their pets.

We also attended the annual Upper Hunt Club Association Fall Festival. This activity was targeted to the children in the community who watched in amazement as our very own Natalie Charlebois and furry pal Caleb showed off their amazing talents and tricks. Dr Krista Gower was the judge for the Pet Costume contest which was an entertaining event! We are always seeking to get more involved in the Community.
