When the shelter opened in November 1999, expectations and hopes were high for its future. The location was ideal and the shelter was clearly visible and right along a main drag. The Branches Advisory Committee (BAC) felt confident the Ontario SPCA had made the right move and that we could make ends meet.
But there is a price to pay for location, location, location. It is money and lots of it.
Both the Scarborough and North York OSPCA thrift shops will continue to operate.
The Scarborough/North York Branches of the OSPCA are still here and active in your communities and hope you will continue to support our work to help keep animals safe.
The BAC has been creating long and short term goals and deciding how the Scarborough and North York Branches of the OSPCA can continue to help animals in the communities it serves. As you read through the newsletter, you will note that we have been active in fundraising to introduce a companion animal fostering program. Our Spay A Stray campaign is still in operation. We urge you to continue your support and, if possible, to consider becoming involved in even just on.
