Survey to Assess Economic Benefits of CKC Dog Events

Calling all who attend, participate in and host Canadian Kennel Club dog events!

You are invited to participate in a survey to assist CKC in assessing the economic benefits of CKC dog events across Canada.

CKC dog events generate considerable revenue for local communities in Canada, so we have created a survey to assess spending by those who attend, participate in and host CKC dog events (performance and conformation). Our goal is to provide a snapshot of the economic impact of CKC dog events on local communities based on the last CKC dog event you attended, participated in, or hosted.

The results can be used to promote the benefits of CKC dog events by CKC, clubs and members when speaking to communities and stakeholders, including governments.

Feel free to share with club members. Kindly submit your responses by August 21, 2023.
