A)

Pacific Assistance Dog Society (PADS)

Re: Program Update and Future Plans

Speaker: Laura Watamanuk, Executive Director

 

 

Ms. Laura Watamanuk, Executive Director, and Mr. Rick Dehart, Board President, Pacific Assistance Dog Society, appeared before Council advising that PADS is an accredited training program, certified by Assistance Dogs International (ADI).  PADS was the very first accredited Canadian member of ADI in 2002, and recently completed their 4th accreditation.  PADS advocates for people with disabilities and all issues surrounding access, legislation and policy development.

 

Ms. Watamanuk provided an update on the PADS programs outlining five (5) different types of assistance dogs:

·         service dogs – to support people with physical disabilities;

·         hearing dogs – to help people who are deaf or hard of hearing;

·         accredited facility dogs – these dogs serve a larger population working in facilities, i.e. hospital, hospice or court;

·         VIP dogs (Very Important Pets) – to support individuals or children with disabilities;

·         PTSD service dogs – to support veterans and first responders living with post-traumatic stress disorder.

 

The speaker brought to Council’s attention that the current facility, located at Stormont Avenue, has reached the end of its lifespan and is no longer meeting the growing needs of the Society.  The Society is seeking an opportunity to collaborate with the City on a possible social enterprise.

 

In conclusion, Ms. Watamanuk expressed appreciation to Council for their ongoing support over the past 25 years.

 

Arising from discussion, the following motion was introduced:

 

MOVED BY councillor JORDAN

SECONDED BY councillor MCDONELL

 

THAT the delegation’s presentation be REFERRED to staff for review.
