Shelters for Stray Dogs – Turkey
A brief summary of animal rights in my country… Everyday thousands of animals are killed by the local authorities. Some are taken to “rehab” centres, and treated only a little better. With a couple of exceptions, those shelters are nothing but death camps. If there aren’t any volunteers to keep an eye on things (because killing or mistreating an animal is forbidden by law), shelters simply execute those poor prisoners because they prefer to spend their budget on other things. BGD (Turkish abbreviation for Shelters Volunteers Association) tries to help those who are in shelters, and those who try to survive on the streets, and even though the money is tight, volunteers do their best to change the current mentality in Turkey. Please help us. BGD is a legal charity, and you can help the shelters in Turkey by donating food, equipment, money for medical expenses, and even by spreading the message.

Cross Country Canada distributed Para-Nordic skiing packages to divisions across the country in an effort to raise awareness of Para-Nordic skiing as an alternative sport for people with a disability. Included in the packages are dvd’s containing a Para-Nordic PowerPoint presentation, and brochures that Cross Country Canada is encouraging divisions representatives to distribute to clubs that have an interest in developing Para-Nordic programs. Additional copies of the dvd’s can be made by the division represntatives. Cross Country Canada’s goal for the promotional tools is to reach as many people as it can by distributing brochures in various locations. These could include rehab centres, disability associations, physical therapy centres and other locations that might capture the attention of any person interested in learning more about the sport, or even curious as to how a person with a disability (PWAD) can actually ski. It is with great enthusiasm that CCC’s national Para-Nordic Development Committee has developed both initiatives with the goal of spreading the word that a person with a disability can also enjoy skiing the same way an able-bodied person can, with only slight modifications. With this in mind, we hope to increase divisions’ and clubs’ Para-Nordic memberships across Canada and make Para-Nordic skiing one of the strongest and most popular sports within the community of people with disabilities.
