CKC Foundation AGM Update

​It is a very exciting time for CKCF! The Foundation has been working on putting important infrastructure in place over the past year, to put the organization on solid footing to expand our grants programs.

This work is being done through our hard working committees:

The Grants Committee has contacted both research scientists at the University of Guelph. One of the scientists has since sent us a report on his rationale for CKC continuing to support him, which has been approved by the Grants Committee. In 2019, the Committee's focus will be on what types of research CKCF will focus on funding in the future.

The Fundraising Committee has been working on developing a Fundraising Strategy, which will put the Foundation in a position to launch a Fundraising Campaign in the coming months. Stay tuned for exciting announcements throughout 2019.

The Communications Committee has been working on developing a strategic marketing & communications plan, that will incorporate strategic marketing and communications to support the work of the Fundraising committee.

With the vital support of the Canadian canine community, the entire Board of Directors of the Foundation and its membership are fully committed to taking the CKC Foundation to the next level.

Together, we will help improve the canine-human relationship and the health of Canadian dogs by empowering communities to educate their members on responsible dog ownership and enabling canine health research.

On behalf of the CKC Foundation,

Richard Paquette
​CKCF Chairman
