B.C. SPCA Nanaimo and District branch is inviting owners and pets to walk for a good cause Sunday (Sept. 10).

The annual Paws for a Cause walk will take place at Nanaimo Community Animal Centre (154 Westwood Rd.) Sunday, with the walk starting at 11:45 a.m.

“This is the largest single event to help fight animal cruelty in British Columbia,” said Carina Stirling, B.C. SPCA officer of fundraising events, in a press release. “We are overwhelmed by the participation each year. “It’s so great to see thousands of people come together across the province to help B.C.’s most vulnerable animals … this year, registration numbers are up.

“Our amazing supporters not only raise essential funds, the events are so much fun for two-legged and four-legged participants.”

The band Moonshine Mollys will provide musical entertainment.

Registration for Sunday’s walk starts at 10:30 a.m.
