This February the Nova Scotia SPCA is pleased to announce the launch of its 2nd Annual Humane Education Art Contest & Exhibition.
 Students in any grade up to Grade 12 can submit an entry for an exhibition at the Society’s Annual General Meeting on April 17th 2010, with juried posters selected for printing. Artists of posters that are selected for printing will be given a token of appreciation from the Nova Scotia SPCA. In addition they will be featured in the Provincial Newsletter and will receive the opportunity to name one of our adoptable animals (choice of a dog, cat, or rabbit). All participants will receive a certificate of participation and their art will be featured on the Provincial Website.Entries must be received by the your local Nova Scotia SPCA Branch by March 15th, 2010. Entry forms may be downloaded from http://www.spcans.ca/education/artcontest.html  For the past 3 years, students of Central Colchester Junior High School have included the Colchester SPCA in their "Christmas Hamper" program, along with the Salvation Army. On December 11, they presented the SPCA with several boxes of pet supplies and $121 in cash. Thanks to all students who contributed to making this a Merry Christmas for the shelter. Shown is our shelter mascot, Lana, in front of the donated items. |
A recent campaign to help support the Colchester SPCA resulted in the donation of a quantity of items, including 8 large bags of cat litter, 12 bags of kitten food, additional bags of assorted cat food, 3 baskets of toys/treats/supplies as well as numerous boxes of canned cat food, blankets, paper towels and other cleaning supplies. The effort, called "Adopt, Don't Shop" came from local resident Darlene Pye, assisted by her husband Rick.
