Agenda for 2010 Regional Summits for Urban Animal Strategies

Plans are well underway for the four 2010 Regional Summits for Urban Animal Strategies (SUAS), to be held across Canada this Spring.

The Regional Summits gather industry leaders (unit and branch managers) from the four primary stakeholder groups of the pet industry: animal welfare, animal control & legislative enforcement, animal health & wellness and animal services.  These one day events deliver content from the previous National Alumni Summit, promote industry collaboration in each region, provide Continuing Education for industry management and expand the number of collaborators working toward common goals and urban animal strategies in the companion animal industry.   

Topics to be covered during the 2010 series include:

• An in-depth look at the 2009 Urban Animal Survey
• An introduction to the Homing Canada Initiative
• Case Study: Cat Licensing in The City of Calgary
• Feline Geonomics (Vancouver & Toronto)
• The Year of the Cat Initiative (Edmonton & Halifax)
• HomeSafe/RDog Launch

Pacific Region ~ Vancouver, Monday, 19 April

Prairie Region ~ Edmonton, Tuesday, 20 April

Atlantic Region ~ Halifax, Thursday, 22 April

Central Region ~ Toronto, Friday, 23 April
