Every September we are overwhelmed by the outpouring of support that comes from people like you who love animals and participate in our Scotiabank & BC SPCA Paws for a Cause walks. Across the province, people of all ages come out, rain or shine, to show they are there to help animals in need. We remain so grateful.

The hundreds of thousands of dollars raised in support of our work help the animals who need us the most in communities across this province. The BC SPCA appreciates how hard you work for every dollar raised and we are proud to let you know we have earned an “A+” in overall efficiency, fundraising efficiency and transparency in a

recent survey of 100 Canadian charities by MoneySense magazine. For more

information on how your fundraising dollars directly impact the animals we care for and protect, I encourage

you to explore the Where your Dollars Go section of this site.

Thank you for joining us in this very important event helping animals. Your support, in all its forms, helps give homeless, injured and abused animals the second chance they deserve. Without people like you who want to help, our cruelty

investigations, as well as medical, sheltering, education and advocacy work simply

wouldn’t be possible. On behalf of the animals, thank you again for showing you care. I wish you the best of luck with your

“Charlie and his family support the SPCA.”

Renewed search for a new homeThe SPCA in Campbell River's search for a new home continues.

While the BC SPCA is disappointed by the City of Campbell River’s Aug. 13 decision not to approve the rezoning required for a proposed new SPCA Education & Adoption Centre at the Maritime Heritage Centre, the SPCA remains deeply committed to helping animals in Campbell River and looks forward to partnering with the city in a renewed search for an appropriate space.

Between March and July, the Maritime Centre was the only leasehold space the SPCA was able to identify which met their specifi c requirements. To assist them opening as soon as possible, they are hoping that the community will come forward if they are aware of any leasehold space that meets the following requirements:

• 1600-2100 square feet at $ 7 - 15 dollars/ sq ft

• Water, sewer and natural gas in the leasehold property itself

• Zoned for kennelling

• Access near to park or walkway to walk dogs

• Good parking

• Access to public transit

The rezoning decision will unfortunately delay the opening of a new centre as they seek appropriate leasehold space,

but the SPCA looks forward to its future in Campbell River and is excited about the Scotiabank & BC SPCA Paws for a Cause walk on Sept. 8 at Nunn’s Creek Park and other events to support the new centre.

In late July, the B.C. SPCA announced it had found a suitable location and would set up its animal shelter at the city-owned Maritime Heritage Centre.

One day later, the city said it had never been approached by the SPCA to use its facility and further, the zoning of the site did not allow for the SPCA’s intended use.

So, on Aug. 13, council did not approve the SPCA’s re-location to the Maritime Heritage Centre which now has prompted the SPCA to start over.

The SPCA’s decision to look elsewhere was also a blow to the Maritime Heritage Society which lobbied council to agree to have the SPCA as a tenant.

M.J. (Marv) Everett, president of the Maritime Heritage Society, wrote a letter to council stressing the importance of fi nding a long-term renter.

“It is essential to the on-going operation of the MHS and the on-going fulfi lment of our operating mandate that we fi nd a secure and reliable tenant for the vacant MHC space,” said Everett who claimed council has had “continued indifference and apathy to our numerous pleas over the past several years for a fair, non-oppressive contract.”

Everett also said that if a re-zoning was necessary to accommodate the SPCA, the Maritime Heritage Society was prepared to do whatever it took to make the zoning changes happen.

Meanwhile, the BC SPCA said it chose the Maritime Heritage

Centre because it fi t the animal society’s needs.

“In our search between March and July, 2013, the Maritime Centre was the only leasehold space the SPCA was able to identify which met our specifi c requirements,” according to the BC SPCA.

Suggestions have already been making the rounds on the Campbell River SPCA’s Facebook page.

Possible options fl oated include the former Lite Shop on 13th Avenue, Campbell River Common, Sunrise Plaza in Willow Point as well as the former Canada Trust building in Merecroft Village, though the former bank site was ruled out as the rent is out of the SPCA’s price range.

The SPCA's great support in the community will ensure that a new home will be found. With dedicated friends like Tom Burton, a former volunteer dog walker, and corporate support in the community from companies like Save-On-Foods,the SPCA can't help but be successful.

Burton organized a fundraising program with the help of Save-On-Foods.

“Save-On-Foods jumped on the bandwagon immediately,” Burton said. “Save-On-Foods got back to me in three days. They’re terrifi c, absolutely terrifi c.”

What the store is doing to help is allowing customers who are a part of the Save-On More rewards program to redeem their points in 1,000 point increments towards the SPCA’s building fund.

Burton said Save-On-Foods will continue with the fundraising program as long as there’s activity in the account.

It's that kind of support that is the SPCA's strength in the community.

We ❤ BCSPCA

I would like to thank our donors, supporters, volunteers and especially the staff of the Campbell Branch for their support, caring, and devotion to “speaking for those who cannot speak for themselves”. With all of your help, we have been able to provide the highest quality of animal care to the animals in Campbell River and surrounding communities. Throughout the years a lot of relationships have developed, with businesses, veterinarians, but especially my team, I am proud to have been part of the BC SPCA for 27 years and to have been able to work with you, and for the animals.

I would like to ask our donors and supporters to continue to support the BC SPCA ,now as we continue with our transition period, and to promise you that the Cruelty Investigation Department will still be available to address any concerns pertaining to the care of animals in their homes.

Together and as a Team we DID make a difference in animals lives. Without all of your help, we would not have been able to do so.

Where your dollars go...

Be an exceptional corporate citizen and get the whole offi ce on board!

Each year, employees in businesses across Canada gather together to show their support for animals in need by

fundraising as one in support of the Scotiabank & BC SPCA Paws for a Cause.

Throughout the summer you can bring your entire team together by fi nding fun and creative ways to raise money for the animals that need you most. Whether you are a veterinary offi ce participating in our Vet Challenge, a retail store selling our paw-prints or an offi ce setting up a corporate

team, there is a way for every organization to get involved and make an impact in the lives of the province’s most vulnerable

animals.

Get in touch!

We’re happy to offer our support through [email protected] or over the phone at 604.709.4651.

Where your dollars goThe w & BC SPCA Paws for a Cause is the organization’s biggest fundraiser and our work would not be possible without your support. The BC SPCA currently receives no provincial or federal government funding and we rely on your generosity to continue our life-saving work. All funds raised at each walk stay in the community to make the life saving work of your local BC SPCA branch possible. We pride ourselves on our low administration and fundraising costs and work hard to ensure that your fundraising directly impacts the animals we serve: In 2013 the BC SPCA joined an elite group of only 45 charities in Canada to become accredited by Imagine Canada through its Standards Program. This means that we have met their high standards in fi ve fundamental areas: fi nancial accountability

and transparency; board governance; fundraising; staff management and volunteer involvement.

The BC SPCA was one of only six Canadian charities to receive an A+ rating in MoneySense Magazine’s 2012 survey rating of 100 Canadian charities.

The BC SPCA was a Top Charity Pick in 2012 by Charity Intelligence.

All funds raised stay in your community to benefi t local shelters.

About Paws for a CauseWhen we work together, anything is paws-sible! For over twenty years, animal lovers throughout British Columbia have come together to walk in support of their local BC SPCA branches. In 2004, these walks organized as one provincewide movement for the first Paws for a Cause.

Today, the walks raise $1 million each year towards improving animal welfare in British Columbia.

Join us this September 8* and enjoy an amazing day of celebration, fun and heart warming stories.

Come meet a shelter animal and see the difference your community has made in the lives of animals in need. By fundraising and walking (with or without your four-legged friend!) you are letting others know that animal welfare is important to you. Whether you are the proud guardian of a BC SPCA adoptee, love buying our certified food products or are just looking for the opportunity to join with others to save animal lives, the Scotiabank & BC SPCA Paws for a Cause is for you.

The experiences, pictures and stories you share through your personal fundraising page, face-to-face fundraising and participation on walk day will connect you with other animal lovers and help spread the word to other members of your community.

come show your love at the
