Another recipient of a $1,000 charitable donation from our company is Veterinarians Without Borders. VWB was founded in 2005. We’re delighted to support an organization such as theirs.

They envision a healthy world where healthy people and animals thrive. They’re practicing veterinarians who believe in the benefits of eco health. They’ve worked tirelessly over the years to reduce animal-borne diseases. By doing so, they can reduce the incidents where these diseases pass from animals to humans such as SARS.

During the past year , they sent volunteers to Ghana, Laos, Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania and Vietnam – individuals who have stayed for weeks or months at a time. These volunteers have included veterinarians, vet students, vet techs, development specialists, gender equality advisors, communications experts and monitoring and evaluation advisors.

VWB’s partnership with Canadian veterinary schools in Northern Canada continues to evolve. Together, they’re developing a comprehensive OneHealth program to improve the health of people and animals in remote communities.

One organization we’ve donated to in the past, World Animal Protection, received another $1,000 donation from Canadian Mattress Recycling in August. For the past 50 years, World Animal Protection has advocated for wildlife around the world. Their work revolves around improving wildlife-human interactions and educational outreach to reduce harmful wildlife-human behaviours. They’ve ended elephant rides in third world countries. They’ve also educated tourism operators on how specific attractions involving wildlife are harmful.

A joint Canada-US charitable initiative, Yellowstone to Yukon Conservation Initiative connects and protects habitat along the mountain ecosystem from Yellowstone to Yukon. Their vision is to harmonize the needs of people with those of nature.
