The Fergus Lions Club is holding the annual walk for guide dogs on June 9th at noon. Scarlett, Hugo and I will be heading out to join the pack and we encourage you to find a walk in your neighbourhood that benefits this organization! https://www.walkfordogguides.com/walk-locations.
Foundation of Canada Dog Guides (LFCDG) is a national charity that the Lions Club of Canada created. Its mission is to empower Canadians with disabilities to navigate their world with confidence and independence by providing a Dog Guide at no cost and supporting them in their journey together.
Since 1983, LFCDG has been providing specially trained Dog Guides to men, women and children from coast to coast. In addition to training Dog Guides for people who are blind or visually impaired, Dog Guides are also trained to meet the needs of Canadians with hearing, medical and physical disabilities, epilepsy, autism, diabetes and for professional agencies that assist people in traumatic situations.
All Dog Guides and required training, including transportation and accommodation, are provided at no cost to qualified applicants. LFCDG does not receive any government funding and relies on the support of fundraising events like the Pet Valu Walk for Dog Guides.
We encourage you to support you local organization and join CanEVA in the walk. Thanks to Pet Valu and the Lions Club for taking on this worthy cause!
