A LOOK INSIDE THE BC SPCA:
Ever wonder what the BC SPCA does to help animals? Hear real animal rescue stories and learn how everyone has a role in making communities safe and healthy places for all. Students will be introduced to our animal protection work in age-appropriate ways and experience what it is like to help BC’s most vulnerable animals. This presentation is an excellent way to learn about community helpers, or as a keynote to a project or fundraiser.
