In Oct., City Shelter staff person, Helen, provided a comprehensive presentation to two ESL classes in Richmond. These new immigrants to Canada were learning English, and, thanks to Helen, learning the ins-and-outs of animal control, shelters and animal welfare in Richmond. Helen covered topics on how to report a stray dog (while the class practiced saying "I'd like to report a stray dog.") 
She also covered important topics like not leaving your dog in a hot car, how to respect wildlife near your home, and how to approach an animal. These dedicated students had a lot of questions. Following is some feedback from Helen's class:Hi Helen
Just wanted to say Thank You to you & Christie for coming to talk to my class. They really enjoyed listening to & learning from you both. When we did a review, they were able to give me the info you presented. You two were great doing the dog in the car roleplay. Please pass on my thanks to Christie. Thank you.
