GWCPC x BC SPCA Halloween Fundraiser & Pet Parade
This Halloween, the GWCPC is thrilled to partner with the BC SPCA to host a trio of fun, family-friendly fundraising events all in support of animals in need across British Columbia!
Join us for a weekend of community spirit, creativity, and compassion with:
Pumpkin Carving Challenge
Pet Parade Costume Contest
Halloween Booth
Pet Parade & Costume Contest
Dress up your furry friends and show off their Halloween spirit in our pet parade and costume contest!
Prizes will be awarded for the best costumes but most importantly, we want to make sure every pet is happy, safe, and comfortable.
The BC SPCAs preferred pet clothing guidelines remind all participants:
-
Clothing should be for safety or warmth.
-
Costumes should not inhibit natural behaviours such as walking, hearing, seeing, or expressing comfort.
-
Minimal coverage is best your pets wellbeing always comes first!
Please keep a close eye on your pets for any signs of discomfort or stress during the event. We want every participant two-legged and four-legged to have a wonderful time!
Pumpkin Carving Challenge
Unleash your creativity in our pumpkin carving contest! Prizes will be awarded for the best carved pumpkins from spooky and silly to simply stunning.
Bring your carved masterpiece or join us on-site to create one. All entries will be displayed proudly at the event.
