Home My WebLink AboutTimes-Advocate, 1985-10-02, Page 9Lions I.Inlnq forces to aid bllad Huron citizens are joining forces to raise funds with which to provide see- ing eye dogs for visually impaired Canadians at the first-ever national Canine Vision Canada Walk-A-Dog-A- Thon. The area walk being held in Goderich on Sunday, October 6 is sponsored by Lions Clubs throughout the district and is one of 47 similar walks being held in centres across Canada on that day. To enter is simple: those interested simply obtain sponsors to pledge any atitount of money per kilometer and then complete as much of the course as possible. Those taking part may accompany their own dog or the dog of a friend or neighbour. In 1983 The Lions Foundation of Canada undertook the project of developing a national dog guide school for visually impaired Cana- dians - Canine Vision Canada (C.V.C.), a non-profit organization and a former public schoolhouse in Oakville, Ontario, was chosen for the site. Through the foundation's sup- port, proceeds from the 1984 Walk-A- Dog-A-Thon held in Oakville, the C.V.C. had a financial base to begin renovations to the schoolhouse. To- day, C.V.C. is in its final stages of completion and will open its doors to qualified visually impaired Cana- dians across the country next November. The school is designed to eventual- ly train 120 dogs per year. During the training stage, participants in the pro- gram will be provided, at no cost with: transportation from ,dnywhere in Canada to the school; team train- ing with their dog; and room and board. The actual cost of this pro- gram is $5,600 per student, all of which is paid by C.V.C. Dog guides go through a demanding training period before they are paired with C.V.C. students. C.V.C. accepts three breeds for their guide dogs: German Shepherds, Labrador Retrievers and Golden Retrievers. The majority of the puppies just recently completed a one year stay at the farm home of Dr. W.J. Thompson of McKillop. The dogs are then brought to the school for an intense three-month Staffo By MRS.. -J.

The graduates are then matched with the newly -arrived students. As a team, they work and live together for four weeks, building their trust and experience in day-to-day situations such as.cross streetings boarding buses and riding in elevators. After graduation C.V.C. encourages ongoing communication between the student and the school staff to keep aware of their progress and if necessary, to help with problems. Currently, C.V.C. has over 60 pup- pies placed in foster homes throughout Ontario. By the end of this year, they hope to have 20 graduates. Already, the school has graduated nine teams which in all cases were se- cond dogs for visually impaired people. Details and pledge forms may be obtained from Dr. William J.
