SUMMARY:Town Hall with the Animal Alliance of Canada
DESCRIPTION:SEE OUR TOWN HALL HERE\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Lori Cohen will sit down with Lia Laskaris and Bianca Del Bois to update us on the work of the Animal Alliance of Canada about dogs in shelters and how they can end up in testing facilities. \nPet Dogs and Cats in Canadian Research\nSince 1990\, thousands of lost\, stray\, and surrendered pets have been subjected to research experiments in Canada. Despite public opposition and decades of advocacy\, Ontario law still allows pet dogs and cats to be used in Canadian testing facilities — some sold by shelters to labs for as little as $2—under Ontario’s deeply flawed Animals for Research Act. \nThrough their Project Jessie and No Pets in Research campaigns\, Animal Alliance of Canada has made major progress\, but the work isn’t over. This webinar will break down what’s happening\, why it matters\, and what needs to change. Most importantly\, you’ll learn how to take action to help push for the legislative reform needed to end the use of pet dogs and cats in research. \nBIOS:\nLia Laskaris\, Chief Executive Officer\nLia has been with Animal Alliance of Canada for over 20 years\, beginning as a dedicated volunteer and now serving as our Chief Executive Officer. From the very start\, Lia stepped up wherever she was needed\, quickly becoming an indispensable part of the team. Her hard work and leadership have helped our organization grow and achieve significant victories for animals. \nBianca Del Bois\, Director of Development and Communications\nBianca is a full-time staff member. With a background as CEO of a marketing and communications consultancy and nearly a decade working in veterinary medicine\, Bianca brings a unique blend of skills to her work with Animal Alliance of Canada. She is the founder of a volunteer-based animal welfare organization that focuses on community pet support\, veterinary access\, and humane animal management programs in partnership with remote First Nations communities. Bianca also serves on the Board of Directors for the Grey Bruce Aboriginal Qimmiq Team (GBAQT)\, which delivers spay/neuter and wellness clinics in Northern Ontario. \nWebsite: Animal Alliance of CanadaFacebook: Animal Alliance of CanadaInstagram: @animalallianceofcanada
