The Difference Campaign

The address of the new training school is 1949 Ironoak Way, which is just off Ford Drive, at Upper Middle Road and the North Service Road in Oakville, Ontario. The new location is just 25 minutes from Toronto Pearson Airport and 10 minutes from the current school.

We expect to break ground in late 2023 and hope to move to the new location in 2025.

The new training school will be significantly larger than the existing school and will be approximately 89,000 square feet. There will be three distinct wings with kennels and the vet clinic at one end, administrative offices and training space in the centre and a residential wing of client rooms at the other end.

This campaign will be entirely funded by donations from donors across the country. There are over 200 naming opportunities from the kennels, to training areas, client rooms and the building itself.

There are over 200 naming opportunities from the kennels, to training areas, client rooms and the building itself.  Naming opportunities range from $10,000 to $5 million to name the building.

All donors may pledge their gift over a maximum of 5 years.

Capital campaign efforts will run parallel to annual fundraising activities, as it is essential to sustain annual revenues during the campaign. Annual donors will be encouraged to make special “over-and-above” gifts to the capital project, recognizing the importance of both ongoing annual needs and this long-term capital investment. Many individuals, companies and Lions’ clubs will be approached for the first time.
