The Courtenay and District Memorial Outdoor Pool at Lewis Park is going to the dogs!

On Saturday, Sept. 1, the annual Pooch-A-Poolooza offers fun in the sun with your pooch on the last day of the outdoor pool season.

The event runs from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Admission is by donation. All proceeds will be given to the local SPCA. Dog vaccination papers must be presented for admission, so be sure to get those ready ahead of time.

Have a young pup or a smaller pooch? Both the wading pool and the big pool will be open to accommodate dogs of all sizes. The friendly staff from Van Isle Veterinary Clinic will be on deck to help ensure the safety of all furry swimmers, and Woofy’s Pet Foods will have giveaways.

This is a fun, family-oriented event so dogs must be friendly to attend. Please note, no humans will be allowed in the pool.

Come on down and make a splash in this pawsitively perfect farewell to summer pawrty!
