Williams Lake SPCA wins BC SPCA's Branch of the Year award
| News |
The Williams Lake & District Branch of the BC SPCA was honoured as the 2012 Branch of the Year at the society’s AGM in Vancouver on June 2. Each year, the award is presented to one of the society’s 36 branches that has excelled in its operations, fundraising efforts, volunteer support and community outreach.
Craig Daniell, chief executive officer for the BC SPCA, notes that despite the economic uncertainty that faced communities across the province in 2011, the Williams Lake & District Branch managed to not only meet their budget, but to surpass it by $27,000. “Under the expert leadership of manager Liz Dighton, the Williams Lake Branch maintained a strong 10-member volunteer Community Council, increased their adoption rate by 11 per cent and increased branch fundraising by an impressive 51 per cent,” he said.
Daniell also praised the Williams Lake Branch for its ongoing collaboration with local government to find solutions to animal welfare issues in the community and its efforts to reduce pet overpopulation through low-cost spay/neuter programs.
“The efforts made by our Williams Lake Branch staff and volunteers have resulted in a significant increase in awareness and support for animals in need in this important region,” said Daniell. “We are very proud of all that they have accomplished.”
The BC SPCA Awards Program honours both people and animals who have made outstanding contributions to animal welfare during the past year. Recipients include veterinarians, staff, volunteers and animal heroes. The non-profit BC SPCA cares for nearly 32,000 abused, abandoned, injured and neglected animals each year in British Columbia.
