1.1 Private Boarding

The Acting CEO presented an information report on Private Boarding at BC SPCA branches.

There was discussion about the requirement for a policy to address this practice, including liability, cost effectiveness, and whether private boarding is congruent with maintaining charitable status, and also to ensure that kennels are not empty when other shelters have a surplus of adoptable animals.
