Vancouver Humane Society

Which space are you referring to? The Vancouver Aquarium is still located in Stanley Park.

Remove deadly, inhumane rodeo and chuckwagon races from the Stampede program. Time for change: tell Calgary’s new Mayor and Council to remove deadly, inhumane rodeo and chuckwagon races from the Stampede program.

New Mayor. New Council. New chance for compassion.

Animals are injured and killed nearly every year at the Calgary Stampede. Animals like Rider, a horse who died after a serious leg injury.

👉 Email Calgary leaders so they can hear us loud and clear.
