The Peterborough Humane Society, a registered charitable organization dependent on public donations, was established in 1941. As an Affiliated Society of the OSPCA, with the mandate to facilitate and provide for the prevention of cruelty to animals and their relief therefrom, our Humane Society offers a wide range of vital services to the community. Working in cooperation with many agencies and departments we continue promoting responsible pet ownership concepts through community outreach, one-on-one encounters with residents and the use of legal action as the last resort. Approximately 1,500 animals are received at the shelter each year, many of which are lost, injured or abandoned. While in our care they are provided with food, care, shelter and lots of love and attention. We speak for those who cannot speak for themselves. The Peterborough Humane Society is grateful to our supporters, staff, and volunteers for their wonderful support and dedication.

The Ottawa Humane Society is a non-profit, community-based organization and a registered charity. We have a volunteer Board of Directors, drawn from our supporters and the community at large.

The Halifax Humanities Society Society sponsors the university-level, non-credit program, Halifax Humanities 101. This unique educational opportunity is offered to adults living below the poverty line. The course involves twice weekly classes, taught by university professors who volunteer their time. The curriculum focuses on the "Great books" that have shaped Western culture, from ancient Greek and Roman epics to contemporary classics of American and Canadian literature. Through the study of these great works in literature and philosophy, students find an opportunity, in the midst of stressful lives, to read and reflect. This time for study has proven to be very helpful in moving students from lives of frustration and reaction to lives of thoughtful reflection and intelligent engagement as citizens. Every barrier to learning is removed in this totally free of charge program so that the students can focus on the challenge and rewards of profound learning.
