PETERBOROUGH, ON (July 19, 2023) – Announcement

The Peterborough Humane Society is one step closer to their capital campaign goal. Local law firm, Miskin Law, has donated $50,000 towards the new Peterborough Animal Care Centre (PACC) at 1999 Technology Drive.

“We are so grateful for our incredible local businesses, like Miskin Law, that go above and beyond to support our organization’s evolving mission to provide more programs and services for animals and people in our community.” shares Shawn Morey, Executive Director at Peterborough Humane Society.

On July 14th a dedication ceremony for the new Miskin Law Boardroom took place, with all Miskin staff and their dogs in attendance. Murray Miskin, the founder of Miskin Law stated “We are so happy to be here, with our beloved pets, to celebrate the new facilities. Today, and only today, this room belongs to our dogs. We know that the Boardroom will be a great community resource and will help Peterborough Humane Society staff day to day in getting their vital work done.”

“The PACC’s Adoption and Education Centre, including spaces like the Boardroom will allow us to expand our services. We are able to not only offer more opportunities to our staff, but also provide a community space for individuals, local businesses and service groups looking to rent out a space for meetings and functions.” says Morey.

In honour of this generous gift, the Boardroom at the Peterborough Animal Care Centre has been named in recognition of Miskin Law and the law firm also been identified on an outside bench, and on the Donor Wall located in the lobby.
