Thank You!

We couldn't help the animals without great community and foundation support.

Our gratitude to Cochrane Sustainability Partners Uniting Resources (SPUR) for awarding us a grant to fund our first ever Summer Kids Camp. We can't wait for the kids to arrive in July to learn about and help shelter animals!

A big thank you to Alberta Culture and Community Spirit for a grant towards our operations in 2010. This Community Spirit Program funding will support our programs including: lost and found, adoption, volunteer, spay/neuter and rescue and rehabilitation.

Shell - Day of Caring

On June 2nd Shell staff came to the Cochrane & Area Humane Society to volunteer their time for a Day of Caring. We put them to work building fencing and picnic  tables for our Summer Kids Camp. Their enthusiasm and skills were greatly appreciated.

Record-Shattering Gala

Our 6th Annual Saving Lives - Changing Lives Gala, presented by ATB Financial, was a huge success! From the cocktail hour with Leroy Cassell entertaining to the closing groove of the Love Bullies, the sell-out crowd enjoyed the evening. The highlight of the event was a performance by George Canyon.

By the end of the evening, over $63,000 was raised for the animals! This is the most raised at any of our events in the history of our organization. To say we are thrilled is an understatement. We are so incredibly grateful for the community support we receive. From the donors of auction items, sponsors, volunteers and supporters, to everyone who purchased a ticket - THANK YOU SO MUCH!
