The latest CKC financial update
|
|
Dear CKC Member,
With our short week last week, production of the Bulletin was
interrupted. We apologize. On a slightly different note this week, we
would like to offer you an overview of a recent meeting with
Agriculture Canada.
Subsequent to the June Board meeting, a meeting with Agriculture Canada
was held, attended by Directors Cairns and Graveley and the Board
Chair. The Agenda was a full one since meetings of this nature have not
been frequent through the life of the CKC. Agenda items included the
current financial challenges faced by the CKC, workloads that are
required of us by Agriculture Canada; our obligations under the APA;
procedural interpretations of various Policies; bylaw interpretations
and opportunities open to the CKC (building on the experience of other
registries).
To
read the entire bulletin or any of the previous communications simply
login to www.ckc.ca and
select Financial Updates from the CKC Services menu.

CKC
Strategic Plan available for review
|
In October 2008 a CKC Strategic Plan was developed and
made available to the membership for comment. Now as part of our
Financial Recovery initiatives we are proposing that a refocusing of
our business strategy will be undertaken using the Strategic Plan as
our framework. However, before we begin implementing any fundamental
changes we need to hear from you.
We ask you to take the time to read the document and decide what your
feelings are regarding the assessments and solutions offered in the
plan. Then contact your director and voice your opinion.
To access the CKC Strategic Plan, login to www.ckc.ca and
select it from the CKC Resources menu.

The Dog Days of Summer are the perfect time
to begin planning your RDOG event
|
Responsible Dog Ownership Day (RDOG) is a national event
initiated by the CKC Responsible Dog Ownership Committee and supported
by like-minded organizations and individuals across Canada. During the
week beginning Saturday, September 25 and including RDOG DAY October
2, 2010, every CKC recognized club is invited to support
responsible ownership right in their own communities.
We encourage all clubs to take part by hosting local events with the
purpose of educating your local dog owning community.
Events can range from holding a Canine Good Neighbour Program,
organizing an obedience demonstration at a recreation centre, speaking
to a class of school children, or discussing canine safety with
businesses whose staff frequently come into contact with dogs. The
ideas are only limited by the imagination of your Responsible Dog
Ownership Group.
For more information and materials to help you promote your local event
go to www.ckc.ca and
click on the RDOG logo. And, be sure to join the national walk of
support for responsible dog ownership on RDOG DAY October 2, 2010.

A Heartworm Disease - An Easily Preventable Problem
|
|
Heartworm disease was first discovered
in Canada in 1976
and there has been
a lot of progress in medical treatment since then.
Despite the advances, veterinarians still discover pets with this
disease as it quickly spreads across the country through infected
mosquitoes. Preventing this potentially fatal disease before it harms
your pups
is key.
