“Thank you, Mackenzie!”
A big “Thank you!” to the residents of Mackenzie, B.C. for their generous support on August 23rd and 24th!
With just over 3300 residents, the small town of Mackenzie, located in northern B.C., helped raise over $1,800.00 in merchandise sales and donations over the two-day event.
Thanks to everyone who came out and showed their support for dog guides, and we look forward to seeing you again later this Fall!
Update on the new school construction:
Just as human kids begin a new year of schooling, so too does “Supervisor” Turner begin learning his basic skills from his puppy raiser Lara.
Meanwhile, construction continues on the client residence wings, as well as the front reception area, for which the Green Capes Lions Club donated $250,000.00 to sponsor.
