Pet Clinics Held in District II

Pet clinics were held in Minisinaakwaang and Chiminising in late July and early August.

”The pet clinics are part of the Band’s CRR or community risk reduction efforts,” said Emergency Management Coordinator Monte Fronk. ”These clinics reduce the risks of unplanned litters or disease that could spread between pets.”

Monte said ”miigwech” to District II Representative Marvin Bruneau for sponsoring the clinics and to Amanda and Mandi from the community centers for taking registrations for the surgeries and wellness checks.

After the Chiminising event, Carrie Openshaw, Programs Director for Secondhand Hounds, said, ”We had an amazing clinic in Isle. Our team loved every minute of it. MNSNAP did

30 surgeries, and we saw 59 wellness patients. We loved the community and met so many great people.”

Clinics will be held in Aazhoomog (Lake Lena) on September 4 and 5 and in Hinckley on September 18 and 19. See below for details.
