Invermere Companion Animal Network Society (ICAN) would like to thank all those
who attended the booth and helped to make our Valley Appreciation Day a successful
outing. We hope the other booths had a great day and everyone enjoyed the
events and vendors on display.

As often happens during tough times, one or both parents must seek a side job
on top of their regular work. Teen and tween children might find themselves having to
take up extra chores around the house or find jobs of their own to help pay for things like
sports and other extra-curricular fees. This leaves less time for family outings to such
things as Valley Appreciation Day, event fund-raisers for non-profits, or just a
recreational outing to the beach or camping. Seeing the numbers of families out and about
Saturday, with children aged months old to teens was heart-warming.

As an aside, we would like to comment on the possible effect that the state of
Canada’s economy is having on non-profits. While the news is full of the impact on small
businesses and families, there is little said about its effects on the community non-profit
societies. It is bad. Our active, committed volunteer numbers are down; donations are
down; attendance at fund-raisers is down. The decrease in money hurts; what hurts more
is the loss of helping hands. If you can make the time, any non-profit could use it.
If you are interested in becoming a member or volunteer, you can send an e-mail to
info@icanbc.com, or phone 250-341-7888.

Our administrative office hours are currently 11:00a.m. to 3:00p.m. Tuesdays to Saturdays.

The golf tournament tentatively planned for mid-August has been moved to Sep 21.
We have a Catsino planned for the 3rd weekend in November. We are looking for
helpers at both events. Please keep the dates on your calendar.
