𝗟𝗨𝗩𝗦 𝗡𝗢𝗥𝗧𝗛𝗘𝗥𝗡 𝗔𝗡𝗜𝗠𝗔𝗟 𝗥𝗘𝗦𝗖𝗨𝗘 needs the community's help. Please consider sharing or donating to this wonderful non-profit based in Prince George, which helps save neglected, abused and surrendered animals.

As you may have heard, Willow the kitten crossed over the rainbow bridge this past week. She arrived in the care of Luvs Northern Animal Rescue with a broken front leg and was immediately provided with veterinary care.

Even though they proceeded with an amputation and tried to save Willow, the trauma from the break and subsequent surgery was more than her little body could handle. She died peacefully surrounded by individuals who truly cared for her.

Luvs Northern Animal Rescue is comprised of a small group of devoted volunteers, all of whom have big hearts and do their best to save as many animals as possible. By saving so many animals this past year, they've accumulated $20,000+ in veterinary bills.

With a record number of animals being surrendered, Luvs Northern Animal Rescue is relying on the community's help. Please consider making a donation to help this incredible non-profit.

𝗖𝗮𝗿𝗹𝗲𝘆 𝗕𝗶𝗹𝗹𝘂𝗽𝘀 is a Prince George difference-maker who plans to run 1,000km starting on December 21, 2023 in the 𝗪𝗜𝗡𝗧𝗘𝗥 𝗥𝗨𝗡𝗡𝗜𝗡𝗚 𝗖𝗛𝗔𝗟𝗟𝗘𝗡𝗚𝗘. Her goal is to raise funds for kids with disabilities in Northern British Columbia.

Carley is a pediatric occupational therapist who has lived and worked in Prince George over the past 12 years. She has seen first-hand the struggles that Prince George families face in order to get funding for important medical equipment and services that support their ability to participate in daily life and she wants to help.

1,000km of running between December 21st and March 21st means Carley will face many snowy, dark, lonely and cold runs during the most challenging running conditions of the year!

Carley choose to do this in the winter because she knows that doing hard things is something children with disabilities and their families experience every single day.

****FREE EVENT****

Award-winning author Ken McGoogan will be at the University of Northern British Columbia on October 19th and 20th for two FREE presentations.

McGoogan had previously written several best-selling books about the Arctic, notably on John Franklin, John Rae, Samuel Hearne and Lady Franklin, so it was a natural consequence of the discovery of Franklin’s ships and Dr. Keenleyside’s visit to invite him to speak in Prince George.

This visit has at last been made possible with the support of several departments at UNBC, and through the timely appearance of McGoogan’s new book, ‘𝑺𝑬𝑨𝑹𝑪𝑯𝑰𝑵𝑮 𝑭𝑶𝑹 𝑭𝑹𝑨𝑵𝑲𝑳𝑰𝑵’ that was published this week by Douglas & McIntyre:
