September 17th 2006 was a great day! It was our 5th Annual Westie Walk for Westie Rescue of Canada and the weather was wonderful. It was a lovely 75 degrees and lots of sun for our walk. The day started with registration and all of our measurements for our Book of Records, then we took a little 20 minute walk around Erindale Park, lead by our bagpiper, and followed up the day with some games and lots of great prizes and a yummy BBQ!!!. 

We had 43 Westies, one Scottie and a Jack Russell join us for the day and we raised the most money ever for the Toronto Walk! A big thank you to everyone who came out and made the day so great.

A few folks were asking us if we are going to have the walk next year…well of course we are!!!!  We hope to see you there in 2007…we will let you all know the details as soon as they are confirmed.
