Education Committee Visits the Banff After School Program

Bow Valley SPCA Educators Dawna Evans, Roberta Richardson and Amanda Wagner; along with Teddy a fourteen year cross breed and Maddie a 5 year old  Pug,  visited  the after school program on Friday April 15, 2016.  
 
The Town of Banff Children and Youth Program offered through Banff Community Services was attended by kindergarten and Grades 1 to 6 youth.   The kids learned the stories  how Teddy and Maddie both arrived at   Bow Valley SPCA  and were soon adopted by our Manger Sonya White.  Choosing a pet, how to care for that pet and pet responsibility were some of the topics the kids learned.   The importance of having a well mannered dog in the community and approaching a dog safely  were  demonstrated  and practiced by the kids  with the help of Teddy and Maddie.
