The sixth annual CNIB Guide Dogs Pup Crawl is here!

From April 16 to May 30, 2025, you can complete your five kilometres in any way you want. Whether you participate with a furry friend, a group of likeminded individuals, or on your own – it’s all up to you. By participating in Pup Crawl, you’ll help raise funds to meet the growing demands for CNIB guide dogs in Canada. Plus, thanks to a generous donation from our friends Mary and John Crocker, your fundraising efforts will be matched, dollar-for-dollar, up to $50,000!
