Fall 2022 Grad Ceremony Video

It was a special evening, as we celebrated more than 40 Graduates at our Fall Virtual 2022 Graduation, with matches in every one of our 7 programs. For anyone who was not able to attend, or who would like to watch it again, you can find it here: Graduation Video

We will be holding our next Graduation in December as we continue to match clients and dogs, empowering them to live their lives on their terms, with a Dog Guide at their side!  Look out for the date and time of the December graduation ceremony in the coming months.

Thank you to everyone who made this celebration a reality, including our fosters, sitters, instructors, staff, volunteers, donors and sponsors. Your efforts and support allow us to unleash both a dog’s and a client’s potential, leading the way to a more accessible world for us all.

LFC 2020 Spring Report - Lion Deb Cserhalmi

I hope all is going well for our A-15 family in these strange times. As you can well imagine this has affected the Lions Foundation of Canada Dog Guides.

The training school has been closed down, except for vet services and some office staff. All the dogs who were in for training went back to their foster families or puppy sitters. The trainers contact the foster families once a week to offer advice and training tips. It's a busy season for the vet clinic. Blood tests are being done and heart worm and flea and tick meds given out. The breeding program is on hold but puppies are still being picked up once they are old enough.

As of now, the new facility is being put on hold. Sandy Turney has been let go. The property has been purchased but the current building has not yet been sold. New building plans are being looked into.

The major fundraiser, the Pet Valu Walk for Dog Guides, has been cancelled for the spring. In its place will be a virtual walk. Details will follow.

With all the uncertainty and disruptions, donations have fallen. No classes mean no teams to sponsor. The dog walk raises over one million dollars a year. Lions clubs are unable to fundraise in person. Dog Guides does have money in reserve and will probably be able to get some funding from the government program to run day to day. Once this is over and classes restart, money will be tight, so please keep LFC in mind once fundraising begins again.

Take care Lions
