CITIZEN CANINEıS DOG SPEAK EVENT WITH SARAH KALNAJS HAS BEEN CANCELLED

Weıre so sorry to announce that due to sudden illness, Sarah Kalnajs will not be coming to Victoria this weekend. Sarah has been hospitalized and will not be able to present the Friday night talk or the Saturday and Sunday seminars.

Friday eveningıs talk, Your Dog: The Missing Manual, set for 7:00 pm at the Bob Wright centre is cancelled. People who purchased advance tickets through Pets West can bring them into the store for a refund. Those who paid with Paypal will be issued a Paypal refund. Citizen Canine will be in touch with all registrants for the weekend seminars and will send refund cheques through the mail. Additional details will be posted at www.citizencanine.org.

Please help us to get the word out about this unfortunate turn of events so that people wonıt be turning up at the door to be disappointed on Friday night.

We are considering bringing Sarah to Victoria on August 18 and 19 for two days of seminars for people who live and work with dogs. We'll keep you posted about this possibility.



Citizen Canine is a non-profit network of individuals and organizations working together to promote responsible dog ownership and support the dog-owning community in Greater Victoria. Our three areas of focus are advocacy, public education, and canine community building.

Dogs are an important part of many families in Greater Victoria, yet public policy does not always provide much support for people with dogs. In some communities, people and their dogs are unduly denied access to parks, public transportation, and even a place to live. Citizen Canine is working to draw attention to these issues, with the goal of improving public access, acceptance, and welfare of dogs and dog owners in this region.

Citizen Canine does not endorse any particular dog obedience trainer or club; however, we strongly encourage participation in basic dog obedience classes, and do endorse the benefit of positive dog obedience training for both owner and dog.
