Tis the season for more giveaways! Foley Dog Treat Company started 10 years ago as a home-based business on Vancouver Island, BC, determined to create healthy treats for dogs with real ingredients and no fillers or preservatives. It turns out many dog owners were looking for healthier options for their beloved pups and the business grew into its own facility with distribution now stretching across Canada.

Want to give a meaningful gift that contributes to wildlife monitoring, environmental education, stewardship and long-term protection of the biodiversity of the largest urban park in BC? You can adopt-an-animal in Stanley Park this holiday season through the Stanley Park Ecology Society (“SPES”).
Adopt-an-Animal in Stanley Park (Symbolically, of Course)
Your symbolic adoption will contribute to conserving the ecological health of 1,000 acres of forest, wetland and seashore shared by over 1,665 species.
Individuals, companies and organizations have an opportunity to connect people to nature and safeguard the ecological integrity of Stanley Park with their choice of adoption. Adopters join over three decades of support for collaborative research, education, innovation and ecological advice.
Adopt a Hummingbird to support habitat restoration monitoring (hummingbirds love native salmonberry blooms!) and support SPES’s “Birding with Me!” nature program that provides an inclusive, safe space for members of the IBPOC and 2SLGBTQAi+ communities, and for those who speak English as an additional language.
Adopt a Bat to support bat monitoring this spring, and to help school children learn about wildlife and ecosystems through a variety of SPES fieldtrips like “Beautiful Bats”.
Adopt a Heron Nest for $54 to support SPES’s efforts to research, monitor and protect the Park’s Pacific Great Blue Herons, a species at risk. Nest adopters receive heron colony reports throughout the breeding season.
Adopt an Otter to support water quality monitoring in Lost Lagoon and Beaver Lake, the habitat of otters and many other species in Stanley Park. Your support also provides fun, educational opportunities for kids in SPES’s Spring and Summer EcoCamps and in SPES’s popular Critter Club for wildlife-loving kids.
Adopt a Coyote to support research on the Park’s coyote population and promote co-existence to help SPES reduce wildlife conflicts and feeding in the Park. Your adoption also supports in-person public education programs that increase awareness of, connection to, and respect for the natural world.
Adopt an Eagle to support nesting bald eagle surveys and other long term wildlife monitoring efforts in Stanley Park. This adoption also helps subsidize the engagement of Indigenous Knowledge Keepers in SPES’s Conservation efforts, in their public and youth programs, and for staff professional development.
Become a monthly donor ($5 or more/month), or make a one-time donation of $40 or more, and receive a stylish fridge magnet of your adopted animal. A special certificate accompanying every adoption recognizes your support for Stanley Park. Donate in honour of someone special and SPES will personalize the certificate for whomever you wish.
Miss604’s Rebecca Bollwitt is the Secretary of the Board of Directors for SPES.
Admission: Tickets start at $16, children under 4 are free, and discounts are offered for families, post-secondary students, and seniors. Guests are encouraged to pre-purchase tickets to ensure availability.

United We Are a Force for HOPE
Three generous Covenant House Vancouver donors have offered the funds for a Triple Matching Gift Challenge.
Any gift you make will go three times as far to help young people in our community who are facing homelessness.
Your support means a safe space for youth like Jace to rest
Jace was always polite but kept to himself. He had a routine of coming into the Drop-In, grabbing food, and taking a nap on one of the comfy chairs.
One afternoon, staff noticed that he was especially tired, so they decided to check in with him. They asked him if he was doing alright and if there was anything they could do to support him. He shared that he was currently staying outside and did not feel safe sleeping there at night, which is why he looked so tired.
We expected the conversation to end there but were surprised by the sincere gratitude that came shortly after.
This youth explained that Covenant House was the only place he felt safe and welcomed. He repeatedly thanked all the Drop-In staff for checking in on him and creating a place where he felt comfortable enough to let his guard down and rest. He knew he could come to the Drop-In Centre to get all his basic needs met.
After that Jace started getting ready to leave but quickly turned around and said “really, thank you for all you do”.
You can help even more young people this holiday season
It is only with the support of the community that Covenant House Vancouver can provide the critical services that young people who are experiencing homelessness need. Services like food, housing, clothing, and in-depth support like counselling and help with substance use.
Since 1997, Covenant House Vancouver has been providing love and hope to youth experiencing homelessness. They are the premiere service provider of residential and outreach services for homeless and at-risk youth ages 16 to 24 in Vancouver.
