CKC Foundation Seeks Board Members
The Canadian Kennel Club Foundation has been incorporated under
the Canada Corporations Act and as a result, plans are underway
to hold the first official meeting in 2008.
The Foundation is looking for individuals who are interested
in serving as a member of the Foundation’s Board of Directors.
This Board of 12 will contain representation from various canine
groups and will include four CKC members who are not currently
members of the CKC Board of Directors. To view the Foundation
by-laws please, click

The Board will play a critical role in the Foundation’s
direction and the fulfillment of its objects which are: a) to
fund research into the causes, diagnosis and treatment of canine
diseases, especially but not exclusively, those known to be or
suspected of being hereditary and; b) to develop programs or work
with other organizations in developing programs that promote knowledge
and understanding of the benefits which dogs bring to Canadian
society and, the means by which these benefits can most effectively
be enjoyed. To view the statement of activities for the CKC Foundation,

Individuals considering this role should be prepared to commit
to serve for the length of time required. The individual should
be comfortable operating as part of a team, working towards a
common goal to ensure the success of the Foundation. Your role
as a director will be to maintain a strong network, dedicated
to the mission of carrying out the objects of the Foundation.
Board members will be asked to donate their time and energy and
will not be paid or reimbursed for their work however, their dedication
and contribution will support a great cause.
If you have questions or are interested in being considered for
a position on the Board, please provide your name and a brief
outline of your experience and, what attributes and skills you
bring that will assist you in this philanthropic role. Past experience
