MIDLAND OSPCA UNVEILS MEMORIAL GARDEN

The Ontario SPCA and Humane Society has unveiled a new memorial garden at its animal centre in Midland.

The garden marks the site of a cemetery where members of the public have laid their pets to rest. While the cemetery is no longer in use, residents can visit to remember lost pets.

"Our goal was to create a beautiful and welcoming spot where someone can come and reflect on the happy times they've spent with their furry friends," said Caytlynn Crosier, manager of the Midland and District Animal Centre.

Donors, dedicated volunteers, and the expertise and contributions of the Midland Garden Club made the garden possible. "We are so thankful to the volunteers, staff and loyal supporters who came together to roll up their sleeves and revitalize the memorial garden," added

Crosier.

The Ontario SPCA and Humane Society has partnered with the Robbie Dean Counselling Centre to present a free, online pet support group. The group meets virtually on the second Tuesday of each month from 6:30 p.m. to 8 p.m. For more information, visit ontariospca.ca.
