OHS Pet Care Crest Program
The OHS Pet Care Crest Program (PCC) is back!
Offered to Ottawa Girl Guide and Scouts Canada groups, this program will introduce participants to the work being done at the OHS to care and advocate for the animals in our community. It will also give troops the opportunity to support in ways that are meaningful to them!
How it Works:
- Download the Pet Care Crest Troop Package here. Inside, you’ll find three activity options designed to help the pets in our care and our community. Troops must select one activity to complete in advance of their onsite visit.
- Once you decide on an activity, book your onsite visit. Make sure to give yourself enough time to complete your activity before your onsite visit!
- On the day of your visit, you’ll bring your completed projects or donations to the shelter where troops will be awarded crests and taken on a guided behind-the-scenes tour, customized to complement the activity they completed!
Length of Program: Onsite programming is 75 minutes in length, including the behind-the-scenes tour and awarding of crests. Troops can decide on their own how much time they would like to commit to the activity component done prior to their visit.
Cost: $95 per troop (for up to 30 participants, including adults), plus an additional $2.50 per crest. Troops with less than 15 participants may qualify for a reduced cost.
Location: Onsite programming takes place at The Ottawa Humane Society (245 West Hunt Club)
Capacity: 30 participants, including adult chaperones. Due to maximum capacity requirements on shelter tours, troops will be split into two groups of up to 15 participants. If your group has less than 15 participants (including adults), please email programs@ottawahumane.ca as you may qualify for a reduced cost.
Animal Interactions: The PCC program does not have a scheduled animal interaction session; however, all efforts will be made to ensure troops are receiving engaging and interactive activities on tour, including viewings of the animals in our care.
Availability: Your onsite visit can be booked using the button below.
PCC Cancellation Policy: Refund requests received 48 hours in advance of the scheduled program are eligible for a refund ($25 administration fee is non-refundable). Refund requests received within 48 hours of the scheduled program are not eligible for a refund. Note: Full refunds will be issued in the event the OHS has to cancel a scheduled tour.
