The 2009 Summit considered 'Urban Cats - Our Biggest Opportunity.' Discussion topics will include:
“BSUAS speakers offer research and a much broader view of the topics we all deal with. It puts our own local experience into context and delivers solid support for policy changes.”~ David Leeb, Edmonton Animal Services
"Since its inception three years ago, and even in its predecessor events the Banff Summit has provided an opportunity for high level dialogue and professional development that was previously unheard of … …the learnings from these events have allowed us to move forward in identifying best practices, understanding and analyzing underlying issues, and developing strategies. The need for a “paradigm shift” in how we operate, interact, and collaborate was brought to the table by Larry Evans in one of our first national “CEO Summits”.The BSUAS is today’s forum for building on this foundation and grappling with the changes that are required to ensure our sustainability and success.” ~ Jim Sykes, President and CEO Hamilton/Burlington SPCA
