On Sunday, May 3rd a few of our staff members participated in the Run for Women event in partnership with the Shoppers Drug Mart. Team members could opt to walk or run either a 5k or 10k.
This was the first year Maritime Animal Hospital created our very own team to participate and raised $830.00 as a contribution from just our registered team members and their family alone.
Funds directly go to the local organization, the Beauséjour Family Crisis Courage Centre located in Shediac. The Courage Centre provides a significant demand of resources and programs to help victims, both women and children, of intimate partner violence.
One of their many resources victims can utilize is through the: Justice Facility Dog Program
Here at Maritime, we know the impact dogs can make on a person’s life. We work closely with a variety of specialized and trained working animals and coming across canine companions bred, trained and certified in this line of work through credible programs can be extremely hard to find.
The work the facility’s dogs provide through companionship and steady support while women and children attend stressful circumstances in court while navigating the justice system is unmatched and funds directly go to supporting this crucial initiative.
Our team would like to thank all who attended and donated and especially applaud the tremendous bravery it took for some of the victims to share their story and personal experience through the Justice Facility Dog Program. Thank you and the Courage Centre for the work that you do and the difference you make❤️🩵🦮🐕🦺
