Annual BC SPCA general meeting

Prospective volunteers with an affinity for animals are invited Wednesday to the annual general meeting of the local branch of the BC SPCA.

“Learn more about the BC SPCA’s life-saving work to help the community’s most vulnerable animals and find out how you can get involved, either working directly with the animals or by offering others skills, such as administrative support, help with fundraising and public events, advocacy on local animal issues and other activities,” the agency said in a press release.

Last year, the South Okanagan Similkameen branch of the BC SPCA helped more than 700 abused, neglected, abandoned and injured animals.

The AGM starts at 5 p.m. at the Penticton shelter at 2200 Dartmouth Dr.
