CALGARY, ALBERTA, 18 OCTOBER 2010: Close to 100 delegates and guests gathered at the beautiful Chateau Fairmont Lake Louise, Alberta, on Friday, October 15th, to celebrate the achievements of their colleagues at the 5th Annual International Summit for Urban Animal Strategies (ISUAS) gala awards night.
Summit Awards were presented in a dozen different categories, representing all four sectors of the companion animal industry including:
• animal control and legislative enforcement,
• animal welfare,
• animal health and wellness, and
• animal services.
Winners were determined by current ISUAS delegates and alumnus in good standing who cast their ballots via a confidential computerized voting system.
Your Summit organizers were thrilled to receive several congratulatory emails from satisfied delegates within hours of the event wrap-up on October 16.
Here is a snippet of what some people had to say about the event:
"I just wanted to send along a quick thank you on the this year's Conference. Again PetLynx has gone over and above on this event."
G. Potter ~ Alberta Animal Services
"I can’t tell you how many delegates were raving about the Summit! The most frequent sentiment expressed was that the event just keeps getting better and better. Congratulations on a great event!"

While we really appreciate this unsolicited feedback and show of support, we still encourage all delegates (who have not already done so) to complete the 2009 Summit for Urban Animal Strategies Delegate Survey.
Yes, we work hard to make this event better each year, but we can't do that without your honest evaluation. The deadline to provide delegate feedback is Friday, November 6.
