It was the perfect way to send off summer.
“The goal is to have people celebrate the human-animal bond,” said Miranda Jordan-Smith, CEO of the Edmonton Humane Society.
Dozens of dogs enjoyed an end-of-summer swim at Oliver Pool Saturday.
The swim benefits the Edmonton Humane Society by raising much-needed funds for various programs.
Patrons were asked to pay a small entrance fee with the goal of raising about $5,000.
“Third-party fundraisers, like this, allow us to put money into our vet hospital and the people in Edmonton always turn out for us and demonstrate that good will,” Jordan-Smith added.
