The Canim Lake Community Club was pleased to welcome a special guest speaker to their Feb. 21 meeting. Randi Dewhirst from the local BCSPCA was on hand to explain the Drives for Lives program and outline many local services offered by the SPCA.
Drives for Lives is a transportation program taking surrendered or stray animals to areas that have shelter facilities. Currently, in the South Cariboo, there is no physical shelter to house these animals.
She also mentioned that foster families are always needed for animals awaiting adoption, and that Total Pet on Horse Lake Road is a depot for donations of food, blankets and toys for animals in need.

The club is planning a Bake and Plant Sale fundraiser for May 27 at the Canim Lake Store parking lot. The club will be selling delicious baked goods, and plants grown and donated by members and will have space available for local crafters and vendors as well.
