Ride for Dog Guides

Get your motor running! The Ride was started by the Saltwater Retreads and the Enfield/Elmsdale Lions Club in Nova Scotia in 2009. Create a scenic pre-arranged route for your riders, and end with refreshments, prizes, an auction table, or make it poker run.

Golf Tournament

During the summer, numerous charity golf tournaments are organized by corporate sponsors. It’s a great way to get active, enjoy the sunshine and support Dog Guides.
