The Animal Guardian Society is participating in Intact Insurance’s Furry Friends 5K, and we would like to invite you to run or walk with us at this fun event!

This race is a great opportunity to raise funds for local organizations. A portion of the proceeds will be shared by The Animal Guardian Society and Homeward Bound.

Please visit furryfriends5k.ca if you would like to register, donate, volunteer or become an official sponsor of the event. You can like the Furry Friends 5K on Facebook by clicking here.
