December 3rd is Giving Tuesday and Global Giving is giving us a chance to increase our impact by providing up to $500,000.00 in matching dollars to participating organizations based on their fundraising total for the day. How much we earn depends on how much our donors give to help us in our projects.
We recently launched a cross Canada survey about the priorities for animal welfare and the top 3 were picked:
1. Support the re-introduction of Bill S-214 (ban on cosmetic testing on animals)
2. Create an all-party Animal Welfare Law Review Committee to review all existing animal welfare protections and how they can be enhanced to improve the quality of life of animals in Canada
3. Provide funding to strengthen Canada's legal system's response to anmal cruelty through training for enforcement officers, Crown Prosecutors and judges on animal crimes.
2019 was one of the most successful years in recent times on the legislative front and we want to keep that momentum going. We are already working with the Minister of Justice’s office around the next steps for the criminal code and we have been asked to consult with Australia on a bill outlawing the captivity of whales and dolphins.
Your support is making meaningful change happen not only here but around the world and we hope we can continue to count on that support. Please consider making a gift on Giving Tuesday to take advantage of matching funds from Global Giving.
