Calling all motorcycle enthusiasts! Lions Foundation of Canada's Ride for Dog Guides is a fundraising event specially catered to motorcyclists. Ride for Dog Guides was first started in 2009 by the Saltwater Retreads and the Enfield/Elmsdale Lions Club in Nova Scotia. The event has since grown with new locations being added each year. All proceeds support the six Dog Guide programs at Lions Foundation of Canada. Though each Ride for Dog Guides varies in activities, most follow a scenic pre-arranged route and offer refreshments, incentives, prizes and a poker run component.
For more information or if you would like to organize a Ride in your community, please contact Katie Gray, Events & Volunteer Coordinator (905) 842-2891 Ext. 226 or Email kgray@dogguides.com

Delta Bingo – Oakville

Dog Guides Canada is looking for motivated self-starters (and bingo enthusiasts!) who are able to volunteer at Delta Bingo in Oakville as verifiers. Delta Bingo is a smoke-free environment and provides fun charitable gaming events. Thanks to volunteers that assist at Delta Bingo we are able to secure $25,000 annually to support one dog guide team. If you believe you can commit for a 2 to 3 hours twice a year, we want to hear from you!

Lions Foundation of Canada Dog Guides’ Open House features a tour of the training facility, a silent auction, and live demonstrations from each of our Dog Guide programs. It’s also your chance to learn about our volunteer and foster puppy programs – and to meet future Dog Guide puppies! 

There’s no need to register to attend our Open House, as tours will be held throughout the day on October 13. The Open House is a free event, although our Foundation is accepting donations in support of each of the seven Dog Guides programs. 

We’re looking forward to seeing you at this family-friendly event at our main facility in Oakville.

Calling all Bowling Leagues and those who love to bowl. Lions Foundation of Canada launched Dog Bowl nationally in the fall of 2013 after adopting the project from the Merritton and Garden City Lions Clubs of St. Catharines, Ontario. Through the support and dedication of these clubs, the event has grown and is now taking place in communities across Canada with all proceeds supporting the Canine Vision Dog Guide program at Lions Foundation of Canada. The Lions Foundation of Canada Dog Bowl provides awareness of people who are visually impaired through bowling fundraisers held across Canada. Through a blindfold or specialized glasses that mimic various eye diseases and disorders, each bowler experiences “seeing” and bowling through the eyes of someone who is visually impaired.
