General Info:
Lions Foundation of Canada Dog Guides Lions Foundation of Canada Dog Guides (LFCDG) is a national charity that was created by the Lions of Canada. Its mission is to empower Canadians with disabilities to navigate their world with confidence and independence by providing a Dog Guide at no cost and supporting them in their journey together. Since 1983, LFCDG has been providing specially trained Dog Guides to men, women and children from coast to coast. In addition to training Dog Guides for people who are blind or visually impaired, Dog Guides are also trained to meet the needs of Canadians with hearing, medical and physical disabilities, epilepsy, autism, diabetes and for professional agencies assisting people in traumatic situations. All Dog Guides and required training, including transportation and accommodation, are provided at no cost to qualified applicants. LFCDG does not receive any government funding and relies on the support of fundraising events like the Pet Valu Walk for Dog Guides.
Anything else:
Join the Coquitlam River Lions as we partner with Bosley’s for our third annual WALK FOR DOG GUIDES! This will be a fun event suitable for all members of the family!
This May, help me “walk across Canada” to give more Canadians a new leash on life!
From guiding their handlers through their daily lives to getting help when it's needed most, Dog Guides play a crucial role in the lives of Canadians with disabilities. By supporting me with a donation to the Pet Valu Walk for Dog Guides, you are enabling Lions Foundation to fulfill their mission to empower Canadians with disabilities to navigate their world with confidence and independence by providing Dog Guides at no cost to them and supporting each pair in their journey together.
Please donate now and support me in my challenge!
