Interested in fostering a pup destined to change a life?
COPE Service Dogs welcomed a new litter of purpose-bred puppies, each one destined to change a life.

(Courtesy: Liz Saul) COPE Service Dogs welcomed a new litter of purpose-bred puppies, each one destined to change a life. These special pups are preparing to begin their journey toward becoming fully certified service dogs. COPE is reaching out to the Barrie community in search of five loving foster homes. Being a foster family for a service dog in training is more than just providing care. To be eligible, COPE is looking for homes that meet the following criteria: You are a dog lover, you live in the Barrie area, you can ensure that someone is home during the day to watch your pup. You are also required to attend weekly training sessions. If this sounds like you or someone you know, COPE is asking to hear from you. These puppies aren't just pets, they're future service animals who could help individuals with mobility challenges gain greater independence and quality of life. People can contact Helen to learn more or to express your interest in fostering. COPE's History COPE's story began in 2000, when founder Jane Boake established the organization near Barrie. Her training at the Assistance Dog Institute inspired her to bring this work to Canada. COPE's programs empower both people and dogs most notably through initiatives like Canines in the Classroom, which began in a Stayner basement and now spans several schools across the region. As these new puppies begin their training journey, they need stable, nurturing homes to help lay the foundation for their future success. COPE says they are working towards their future goal of developing chapters in other communities, and expanding the range of disabilities that may be supported by these special animals.

Council approves 2-year pilot project allowing front yard driveways in Walkerville area
Social Sharing Windsor residents in Ward 4 will be able to park in their front yard for the next two years. It excludes Walkerville's heritage district. Council approved the project on Monday. A subcommittee moved it ahead last year. Concerned Walkerville residents appealed to council to approve the project, citing a fear of possible alleyway crime and lack of parking spots. City staff says this doesn't mean residents can park on their own front grass — instead — that it allows driveways to be constructed and curbs be cut. And that residents will still be held to a "prescriptive process" around parking in the neighbourhoods by the municipality. Ward 4 has the most neighbourhoods in Windsor where drivers are forced to park in paved back alleys out of necessity.
