For a number of years, Evan and Luke have collected donations on their birthdays - rather than gifts - with many of these donations given to the SPCA of Western Quebec. Shortly after Halloween this year, they organized and ran an Orienteering event on their property. There were approximately 45 children and adults running the Orienteering course as well as a number of other adults attending. Along with a small entry fee, they also accepted donations for a raffle and other events. Recently, Evan and Luke visited the shelter and gave the SPCA a most generous donation of $160.00 via their fundraising efforts.

The SPCA is a favourite of the boys, in part because their family adopted Charlie from our shelter. Charlie happily shared the house with their older Black Lab who, unfortunately, passed away earlier this year (at the ripe old age of 14). Charlie is an integral part of the family and has matured into a wonderful dog with a heart of gold and unbounded energy (perfect when you have two boys).

Thanks so much to Evan, Luke and their family for their support, and for giving a forever home to Charlie. Your donation is greatly appreciated and will be put to the best of use for the shelter animals.
