If you are looking for a fun and meaningful way to spend a summer day with your canine companion, consider joining the Ottawa Valley Doggy Paddle on Saturday, August 19, 2023. This event is a fundraiser for the Ontario SPCA Renfrew County Animal Centre, which provides shelter and care for homeless and abused animals in the region.
The Doggy Paddle is open to anyone who loves dogs, whether you have one or not. Registration starts at 9am and the paddle begins at 10. You can bring your own kayak, canoe, or paddleboard, or rent one on site.
You will also enjoy watching the Community Relay Race, part of the Water and Dirt Festival at Melissa Bishop Park. To register, visit wateranddirt.ca and show your support for this worthy cause. This is a great opportunity to have fun with your friends and help the animals in need.
