​This Project was supported by The Canadian Foundation for Animal-Assisted Support Services (CFAS) so as to acknowledge the value of Prince George’s Canine-Assisted Intervention Programs. By cross-pollinating local programs and uniting local stakeholders we were able to foster an interdisciplinary collaborative culture. The participants shared commitment toward their clients and zeal for building synergistic relationships glistened like a diamond in the rough. Meeting in person made it even more evident that their work is much more than a day-job. Everyone involved is very much a part of a loving community of caring citizens going above and beyond the call of duty in order to make Prince George a healthier and safer place to live, work and play. 

On behalf of the Foundation I would like to take this opportunity to thank all of the participants for contributing to this rich dialogue and for expressing your shared aspirations of forming a local cohort and hub.In the words of Henry Ford; “Coming together is a beginning; keeping together is progress; working together is success.” Thank you for the privilege of serving along side of you. With appreciation, Joanne Moss, National Director, CFAS Visit the Hub
