5. Blues for Paws Fundraiser at Fairview Pub
You can't take your pup along to this event, but you can raise funds to help local dogs so we thought you'd want to know about it!
The 12th Annual “Blues for Paws” fundraiser - a night of live music, a silent auction and games hosted by Rob Montgomery - is happening next month to raise funds for BC SPCA’s Charlie’s Food Bank and Veterinary Clinic in Vancouver.
