Beaches Lions Club raising funds for LCIF Dog Guides
Meet the Beach Community
Come on down to cheer on the runners and Help the Community raise funds for LCIF Dog Guides.
Charity:
Everyday Canadians with disabilities count on their Dog Guide to help them move forward in their daily lives. Dog Guides assist Canadians with four distinct programs to help not only people who are blind or visually impaired, but also those who are deaf or hard-of-hearing or have other medical or physical disabilities. The growing demand for Dog Guides from people across the country resulted in a successful expansion of the kennels at the Oakville training school and now building a veterinary clinic. The clinic is necessary to allow for quality and economical on-site care of foster puppies and Dog Guides in training. This will include facilities for examination, surgery, treatment and recovery. The Beaches Lions are pleased to raise funds to help with the construction and outfitting of the new veterinary clinic.
