It was our great pleasure to bring together 19 working and service dogs from 10 organizations for this opportunity to meet Her Majesty the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh during the provincial celebration of the Golden Jubilee Visit to Toronto.

| I
personally wish to thank you on behalf of the CCRA for the invitation to
participate in this very special event. Without your hard work, dedication
and persistence this definately would not have happened. I was most
impressed with your vision and the comments from staff here were tremendous.
I also would like to say that the entire display was extremely well received
by all the politicians we met, the media and the public who stopped to
talk. Keep up the good work you have started. We will be forever
grateful to have had this opportunity to showcase our K9 service to Canadians
and her Majesty Queen Elizabeth.
