Jillian Doucet Community Dog park officially unveiled
The culmination of years of dedication, fundraising, and hard work was celebrated today as the Jillian Doucet Community Dog Park was officially unveiled.
A number of guests – of both the two and four-legged variety – came out to commemorate the occasion.
The Meadow Lake and District Humane Society (MLDHS) had a number of giving volunteers in the community since its inception, and the driving force behind the dog park project has been the organization’s current and long-serving president, Jillian Doucet.
The idea and the fundraising for the project started in 2012, and in the fall of 2015, the park became available for public use. This spring, the board of directors unanimously decided to honour Doucet by naming the space after her. Meadow Lake city council was also unanimous in support of the idea as well.
