New SPCA member filling gaps in Vernon after animal centre closure
Vernon is without a Community Animal Centre, but pet owners do still have the ability to seek assistance from the BC SPCA thanks to a new local member.
Nicholas Weeda joined the organization as Vernon’s community services coordinator in February 2024.
Weeda was introduced to Vernon council at its meeting Monday, April 22, where he said his new role was created to ensure gaps left by the closure of the animal centre in November 2023 were filled.
“The role of the community services coordinator is to maintain and ensure the successful delivery of BC SPCA programs and services in the Vernon area,” Weeda explained.
