The City of Timmins is Walking to Support Life-Changing Dog Guides 
The City of Timmins has joined the 40th annual Pet Valu Walk for Dog Guides as part of National AccessAbility Week this May. Proceeds support the Lions Foundation of Canada Dog Guides (LFCDG), a national charity that empowers Canadians with disabilities to lead confident, independent lives.

On Sunday, May 25, 2025, Timmins’ residents have an opportunity to participate and help raise essential funds to match Canadians with medical and physical disabilities with a life-changing Dog Guide, at no cost to the recipient. A Dog Guide costs approximately $35,000 to raise, train, and match. The amount is covered through vital events like the Walk for Dog Guides, which is why the City has signed up!

Thanks to national sponsor, Pet Valu, all proceeds from this event will directly fund Dog Guide programs. The Timmins’ Pet Valu Walk for Dog Guides is taking place on May 25, 2025 at Gillies Lake. Registration is now open at: https://www.walkfordogguides.com/fundraiser/TimminsWalkforDogGuides. Residents can also make a direct donation in-person at Service Timmins in City Hall, Pet Valu on Waterloo Rd., or online through the Timmins’ event page.

Timmins’ Pet Valu Walk for Dog Guides is part of the City’s National AccessAbility Week programming, coordinated by the Municipal Accessibility Advisory Committee. The committee works year-round to ensure that municipal services, facilities, and infrastructure are accessible to people of all abilities in our community.
