Pawds: ElderDog Chapters

Pawds Across Canada

Our goal for the growth of ElderDog Canada across the nation is to expand at a modest, sustainable rate. Key to this growth is the establishment of local chapters (Pawds) and regional nodes. A cluster of local Pawds will form a regional node.

Setting up a local Pawd can be an individual endeavour or a collaborative project shared by two or more interested people. Typically, starting a Pawd involves becoming a member of ElderDog, submitting a local growth plan consistent with ElderDog’s objectives, providing individual or shared leadership, recruiting and coordinating volunteers, fundraising, and carrying out planned activities.
