The Disaster Animal Response Team of Nova Scotia  

 First of all we at DARTNS would like to thank all those who attended our AFDR Workshop on August 13th and 14th. The workshop was a great success. We have received a lot of great feedback on this year’s event and ways to make things even better in years to come.

We would like to single out a few of our volunteers who went above and beyond the call of duty.

Krista Dobson, who ran the PayPal website and assisted those who had registration questions and as well dealt with the payment of all our partners,

Diana Forestall, who brought along our “patients”, a touch that made the whole workshop very realistic!

And last but certainly not least,

Catherine Stevens, whose tireless efforts to make this year’s workshop a great success by doing media interviews, soliciting gifts for the door prizes and for putting together the “swag bags” for this year, a first for us and now something to build on in years to come.

Thank you again to the folks from HSUS, not just the workshop facilitators’, but the administrative staff who worked so hard in the background getting information to us, mailing out the workshop materials and assisting with any glitches along the way.

We will be sharing our survey findings with the attendees, after we have time to digest the information that was shared with us by all of you. It will be a starting point for next years’ workshop, so stay tuned for what is in store for next August!!

We would like to thank the following for supporting our 2011 Workshop:
