We saw the graves of Beauty, Antis, Peter, Ricky, Rex and Simon the cat. Steve showed us pho- tographs of these animals and told us very ‘moving’ stories about their lives. Liz and Georgia then gave us a tour of the PDSA Pet clinic. We met the animal nurses and saw inside the treatment rooms. Best of all, we loved seeing the cats, dogs and rabbits waiting to be taken home after their treatment. A huge ‘well done’ to Class 3 for showing so much passion to- wards animals and a huge ‘thank you’ to Steve and Liz from the PDSA. A student in Class 3 said it was his best trip ever! 30 students from across the school were selected to take part in a ’Play In A Day’ workshop of Romeo and Juliet. The students watched a performance by three professional actors and were then given the mammoth task of learning and performing the show, in one day! The students made their own props and supported each other throughout the day, to perform to the rest of the school in the afternoon. They did an amazing job of re-enacting the infamous story, with stunts and all! Well done to all of the students who took part! .

BRAVE BIRDS By: PDSA - the UK’S Leading Veterinary Charity
BRAVE BIRDS By: PDSA - the UK’s leading veterinary charity. Additional text and photos courtesy of Australian War Memorial and UK Flightglobal Archive. The most famous and the oldest of the charity’s awards is the PDSA Dickin Medal. It acknowledges outstanding acts of bravery displayed by animals serving with the Armed Forces or Civil Defence units in any theatre of war, worldwide. The Medal is recognised as the animals’ Victoria Cross and is the highest British honour for animal bravery in military conflicts. The medal was instituted in 1943 Maria Dickin. Maria Dickin CBE PDSA owes its foundation to the vision of one woman - Maria Elisabeth Dickin - and her determination to raise the status of animals, and the standard of their care, in society. During the First World War, Maria Dickin CBE worked to improve the dreadful state of animal health in the Whitechapel area of London. She wanted to open a clinic where East Enders living in poverty could receive free treatment for their sick and injured animals. Left: Despite the scepticism of the Establishment, Maria Dickin opened her free 'dispensary' in a Whitechapel basement on Saturday 17th November 1917. It was an immediate success and she was soon forced to find larger premises. Photo PDSA. Within six years this extraordinary woman had designed and equipped her first horse-drawn clinic and soon a fleet of mobile dispensaries was established. PDSA vehicles soon became a comforting and familiar sight throughout the country. With success came increased attention from her critics at the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons and the Ministry of Agrigulture.

5.3(c) From: Steve and Linda Walsh r Sent' January 16, 2012 8:27 PM To: Office of the Mayor Cc: [email protected] Subject: Responsible Animal Ownership By-Law Attn: Your Worship Mayor Bob Bratina Re: Responsible Animal Ownership By-Law Dear Sir: Earlier today I communicated with your office and filed a "Notice of Objection" by way of a letter written to you with respect to the Responsible Animal Ownership By-Law which is scheduled to come before Council on Wednesday January 25, 2012. Since then, I have obtained a copy of the newspaper ad which the City of Hamilton posted in the Hamilton Spectator and local community newspapers on November 3rd (attached). When you read this ad, you will agree that this ad very clearly states: Some examples of what will remain the same include: Regulating "sort pigeons"; As explained, in today's earlier correspondence, that is not what has occurred. The new by-law prohibits new members joining the sport if they reside in "residential" or "commercial" area's. Our request remains the same, that this by-law be sent back to committee and be amended to allow responsible individuals to join the pigeon racing sport. Please share this email with all city councilors. Respectfully, Steve Walsh Secretary Canadian Racing Pigeon Union The Canadian Racing Pigeon Union Inc. January 14, 2012 The City Clerk 71 Main Street West First Floor, Hamilton, ON L8P 4Y5 Attn: Your Worship Mayor Bob Bratina Re: Responsible Animal Ownership PED09303 (c) (City Wide) Outstanding Business Item Dear Sir: By way of introduction I am a member of the Board of Directors of the Canadian Racing Pigeon Union (CRPU).
