Our One Health Active Living Patron
My name is Kevin Frost. I was born in Victoria, B.C. on June 16th 1967. In 1972 I moved to Ottawa with my family enrolling in Blackburn Public and Emily Carr. It was during these years that my deafness was discovered, grade six to be exact. I only had 25% of my hearing. I then went to Gloucester High School and successfully graduated in 1986. My deafness did not stop me from being active in my community. I had a paper route for 8 years during school years then straight into full time work after graduation in a large grocery chain store for 16 years. I loved sports especially hockey, so much so that at the age of 10 I began refereeing. Read more... Kevin Frost and his new new guide dog Lewis had a great training experience when they were brought together in 2013. Lewis is a great match for me, says Kevin, because he’s just as goofy as I am. We will learn to work together as time goes by. View Kevin's Awards... |

Learn to Play - Safety and Fun Around Animals
Please note that companion and service animals, in many instances will not be physically on the trails. The concept is to connect people who share an interest in pets (companion animals) and partners (service animals|) in order to build awareness about and to support Animal-Assisted Support Services. People that attend walking events may bring their dogs and lap animals so long as the they are kept on leash at all times, harnessed, contained, and/or muzzled as appropriate. Please keep a safe distance between other people with their pets to ensure safety and fun during events. Always ask event participants permission to approach their animals before doing so. Only specific trails permit horses, therefore, please read event posters carefully to note the types of activities that will be available. Events can be held winter, spring, summer, and fall wherever and whenever possible. Your cooperation and understanding is appreciated. |
