Westies in Need (WiN) Westie Rescue
Toronto Westie Walk
Sunday September 13, 2009
|
Hello! My name is Corrie Yeoman
and I am organizing the Toronto Westie Walk and Fun Day this year on Sunday
September 13, 2009.
The walk will be held at Mississauga Valley Park,
1275 Mississauga Valley Blvd, Mississauga, ON, L5A 3R ...please note this is a
different location than last year (Click
here for a map, if needed.) or click here for
written directions!
 This is WiN's MAJOR fundraiser, so we
ask everyone to make donations the day of the walk or get pledges beforehand.
The day begins with registration at 11:00 am, followed by pictures taken of
each participant, then a short walk around the park, led by our very own lady
Bagpiper.
The 'walk' is approximately 15 minutes, and the terrain is
suitable for strollers and other types of mobility enhanced equipment. There is
no requirement to participate in the 'walk' in order to take part in the event.
You may participate in as little/much of the 'walk' as you and your dog(s) can
handle - or not walk at all.
Next we participate in some really fun
Westie Games such a Wiener Dunkin, Musical Hoops and we are again having our
Terrier Races!
Water for the dogs will be served community-bowl style,
so bring your own bowl if you require a separate drinking container for your
dog.
We finish the day with a BBQ and, of course, lots and lots of
prizes for our participants.
Rain or shine, the Westie Walk is on! In
the event of rain, the schedule of activities will be modified, but the Westie
Walk will not be canceled or rescheduled.
If you are a Facebook kinda
person...we have a page with all the Westie Walk information that you may want
to join...click
here to go to FaceBook/Toronto Westie Walk!!!
| This year we are asking that as many
folks as possible have their Walk Registration form filled out before they
arrive at the walk...this makes our registration line move so much faster.
Please click here to download your
registration form and simply fill it out and bring it to the walk on
September 13th and you will speed through the line! |
It is a lot of fun and a great opportunity for
Westie owners to get to know each other. We ask the walkers to make donations
the day of the walk or get pledges beforehand. We have some great prizes for
the folks who collect the most $ and who travel the farthest distance, etc.
To download a pledge form, just click
here.
So bring your lawn chair, tell all your friends and we sure
hope to see you there.

have already sent in some pictures...thanks so much! For everyone else...we

We will display all the submitted pictures at the
Westie walk for everyone to see and we will have a judge make the final
decisions!
