Dog Paddling Adventures - canoe with your dog.

Toronto Westie Walk in Erindale Park, Mississauga on Sunday September 14th. 2008

The day begins with registration at 11:00 am, followed by pictures taken of each participant, then a short 15 minute walk around the park-lead by our very own Bagpiper.
Next we participate in some really fun Westie Games…such a Wiener Dunkin, an Ice Cream eating contest and more! We finish the day with a BBQ and, of course, lots and lots of prizes for our participants. It is a lot of fun and a great opportunity for Westie owners to get to know each other.

We ask the walkers to make donations the day of the walk or get pledges beforehand. We have some great prizes for the folks who collect the most $ and who travel the farthest distance, and lots more.

Westie Rescue of Canada (WRC) is a not-for-profit, national Westie rescue organization, founded and run by volunteers, to help homeless and displaced Westies find permanent and loving new homes. We are dedicated to the protection and well-being of West Highland White Terriers.

For pledge forms or general information, visit our website at http://www.westierescuecanada.com/events/torontowestiewalk.html

So bring your lawn chair, tell all your friends and we’ll see you there. It’s gonna be a Westie-ful day!
