We all know how important our pets are to us, and it has been found that the bond between people and their pets can lower stress
and feelings of loneliness AND bring happiness to their owners. 

We hope you and your furry friend will join Max for our 4th annual Paws for Prevention Walk to raise awareness for mental health and suicide prevention.
Money raised goes to critical research, education programs, advocacy, and support for those affected by suicide.

 

 

This event is held in partnership with Scarborough Community Services.
