We would like to thank everyone who participated in our Waggin' Tails hike on Saturday. The turnout was amazing and a huge increase from last year. It was wonderful to see local animal lovers supporting the Humane Society. We also managed to raise some more funds for our shelter animals, which will go a long way to making their stay more comfortable.
Thanks to all of our community supporters.
Thanks also goes to the staff at the Conservation Authority for organizing, advertising, and hosting this event.
All of the staff at the Humane Society truly appreciate the hard work and efforts involved.
And of course, we thank our excellent volunteers for managing our donation table, organising our merchandise, and faithfully supporting our cause. Thank you!

The Staff at the North Bay and District Humane Society gratefully accepted more than $1,000 of donations from Canadore students this morning. Students were asked to complete a project for their marketing program, which entailed raising both monetary and item donations. This project was based upon instruction to help out a community not-for-profit organisation and then report about their charitable actions. Two class groups chose the NB&DHS as their focus, and we had the opportunity to welcome one of these groups this morning.
All of the staff are extremely impressed by the students' efforts and results. We thank all of those involved in the project, as well as our community supporters who provided donations.
Thank You.
