"We're thrilled to have had our largest and most successful walkathon ever," said Bruce Roney, OHS Executive Director. "In addition to being a fun day, it's also our most important fundraiser of the year and we count on its success to help us care for Ottawa's animals."
All funds raised today will go toward supporting the many ongoing programs and activities at the OHS, including humane education, animal visits, dog walking, adoptions, and foster care. Some of the funds will also go towards animal rescue services. Although legally mandated to enforce the animal cruelty provisions of the Criminal Code of Canada and the Ontario SPCA Act, the OHS does not receive any government funding or any funding from any animal welfare group to perform this essential work.
