Check this page regularly for updates on the many special events that help care for the stray and abandoned animals in this community. Please come out and join us. It's always a great time for a good cause.

FUNDRAISING EVENTS FOR 2010



BARC Camp

It’s an animal camp.
It’s a kids camp.
It’s a kids and animals and awesome life skills camp!

The Ontario SPCA has some big ideas to teach your little people. BARC – Basic Animal Responsibility Camp – is a weeklong humane education program offered to children aged 7-12. It really is perfect for kids who love animals, but it’s also an extraordinary opportunity go beyond that love, to learn more about the animal world they live in and how to become responsible citizens of that world. Let us tell you what we mean.

First, a bit about humane education: with three main goals, humane education first strives to provide accurate information about current issues, to help us all understand the consequences of our decisions. A second goal of humane education is to instill respect and responsibility, so we can face challenges and respond to them with integrity. And finally, humane education seeks to offer positive choices that benefit the individual, animals, and the environment so we can be empowered to create a more humane world.

To teach children these principles, BARC will break down into four exciting theme days. We’ll journey through the skies one day, travel the seas and waterways on another, visit the wild animals of the land on a third day, and bring the kids ‘home’ to discuss domestic animals on a fourth in-camp day. And on each of these days, we’ll talk not only about the creatures in each of their respective environments, but also how our activities (as humans) affect animals’ lives and worlds, and what we can do to mitigate those effects.

Location: Monora Park Pavilion, 733220 Highway 10

Give us your beer, wine and liquor bottle empties - year round

Your empties can fill bellies.

Please bring in your empty beer bottle cases, wine and liquor bottles, plastic wine inserts from boxes and tetra wine boxes. A team of volunteers sort them and get them ready for the Beer Store truck to pick them up for the refund.

Your empty bottle refund can help us to feed our kittens, vaccinate the animals at the shelter and pay for veterinary procedures such as spay and neuters. Every bottle to refund will help us in our daily care of the animals. Just drop the cases and bottles off to the shelter during opening hours and we'll look after the rest.

For large quantities of bottles, please call the office to arrange for us to collect the bottles. Any event that you're having - weddings, birthdays, company get togethers, please think of the animals and bring us your bottles.

If you hate to line up at the Beer Store, just drop off your bottles to us, we appreciate every bottle donated. In February 2009 we have become a Beer Store deposit Depot, because we have so many bottles donated they collect directly from the shelter. How about that. Tel: 519-942-3140
