BACKGROUND:
On September 28, 2002, the staff of the Clarington Animal Shelter were pleased to participate
in two events,
FAMILY SAFETY DAY:
Clarington Emergency Services invited the Clarington Animal Shelter to man a booth at their
annual Family Safety Day. A display was set up which included various responsible pet
ownership brochures, and information related to the Clarington Animal Shelter. The booth was
manned by a member of staff of the Animal Shelter, her son who is working towards his school
mandated 40 hour volunteer program, as well as a Member of the Animal Advisory Committee.
The display was extremely well attended and staff distributed approximately 400 colouring
books and pamphlets.
PET VALU BARBEQUE:
Also on September 28, 2002, and pursuant to an invitation from Thomas Sheehan, owner of
Pet Valu, a member of staff along with a co-op student held a barbeque for the purpose of
raising funds for the Clarington Animal Shelter. Local artist, Pat Livingston, spouse of Paul
Livingston who painted the mural on the Animal Shelter, donated posters for sale at this event,
the proceeds of which were also donated to the Animal Shelter. The posters were a collage of
animals, sampling of pieces from Pat Livingston's pet portraits.
The Pet Valu Barbeque was very well attended and the amount of $370.00 was raised from the
sale of hot dogs and hamburgers. The amount of money raised from the sale of Pat
Livingstone's posters totalled $75.00. A grand total amount of $445.00 was donated to the
Clarington Animal Shelter as a result of this positive and worthwhile endeavour. Members of
staff are pleased with the success of both events and want to commend and thank Thomas
Sheehan from the Pet Valu store as well as Pat Livingston.
