For the Love of Dog Gala Cancelled due to COVID-19 Threat

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

It is with great disappointment we announce the cancellation of this Saturday’s For the Love of Dog Gala. Late this afternoon, BC Health Officials encouraged organizers to cancel events over 250 people.

The health and well being of our people – supporters, clients, volunteers and staff are our first concern and we take these recommendations seriously and will be postponing this event until the threat of COVID-19 has passed.

WHAT THIS MEANS FOR OUR GUESTS

Event ticket holders have the option of having their ticket honoured for the Gala (when rescheduled) OR they may request a tax receipt for the full value of their ticket purchase. If you are a Gala ticket holder, please complete the following form.

WHAT THIS MEANS FOR PADS

This is our largest fundraiser of the year, and we’re imploring our community to come alongside us to ensure that our funding and programming does not suffer. We do not know at this time, when the event will be rescheduled to. Thanks to our partners at Elevate Auctions, our online bidding platform will allow us to proceed with running the auction portion of the event online.
