The Pet Valu Walk for Dog Guides

The Pet Valu Walk for Dog Guides is a national fundraising walk held in approximately 300 communities across Canada. It raises funds to help train Dog Guides for Canadians with visual, hearing, medical or physical disabilities. Each Walk is organized by local volunteers with support from Lions Foundation of Canada. To date, the Walk has raised more than $15 million! Communities host Walks in the Spring and Fall. Visit our locations page to find the Walk closest to you.

North Bay Walk

Walk will be held at the Rotary Picnic Shelter at the waterfront. Registration at noon walk begins at 1pm. Many great things are in store for our walk this year. Touch Animal Rehabilitation will be joining us again for a Pre Walk warm up session and after the walk there will be a BBQ, Lots and lots of prizes; for most money raised, raffles, and a Silent Auction. Prancing Paws will be on site doing one on one photos with you and your pet. And each walker will leave with a Bag full of goodies for their furry friends to enjoy. Also Mark your Calendars for our annual Dog Wash on Sunday June 10th from noon – 3pm.

Thanks to our sponsors, 100% of the funds raised from the Walk go directly towards the raising, training and placement of Dog Guides for Canadians with medical or physical disabilities. Dog Guides Canada has already provided specially trained Dog Guides to more than 2764 men, women and children, all without any government funding. With your help more people will experience the mobility, safety and independence a devoted Dog Guide brings.
