Kootenay Ice forwards Jaedon Descheneau, Levi Cable and Luke Philp visited the BC SPCA East Kootenay Branch to see the new puppies that are up for adoption. The visit is also to let people know about the Million Act of Kindness campaign that the BC SPCA is kicking off this month to raise awareness for the organization. The local branch will also be doing the Tennis Balls on Ice fundraiser at Friday’s Kootenay Ice game.
Million Acts of Kindness campaign underway AR N E PE TRYSHEN
The BC SPCA is starting a province-wide campaign called the Million Acts of Kindness, which seeks to bring awareness for the notfor-profit organization and the animals it cares for. On Thursday, three members of the Kootenay
Ice visited the local shelter — the BC SPCA East Kootenay Branch— to get a look at a number of recently added puppies that are looking for a home. “One of the first things that people can do with the Million Acts of Kindness is come out to the Ice game
and purchase a tennis ball to win some prizes,” said Brenna Baker, manager of the EK Branch. That will be tonight’s game (Friday, Feb. 5). You buy a tennis ball, which will then be tossed on the ice rink. Then dogs will be let out on the ice to fetch balls. If your tennis ball is
picked up by one of the dogs, you win a prize. “We’ll tie that all into the million acts of kindness,” Baker said. The campaign is about bringing more awareness to the BC SPCA and the work they do. “The goal is to get the
communities on board and people signing up on this website,” Baker said. “Then they can perform acts of kindness. Basically what we’re doing is trying to get rid of cruelty to animals through acts of kindness.” You can go online to millionacts.ca and sign up to
take part in acts of kindness and share your acts. It’s free to sign up. The BC SPCA is also hoping to get provincial MLAs on board, since it would like government funding to carry out certain programs.
