The Animal Inclusion Project
The Animal Inclusion Project, launched in 2022 as a pilot initiative, aimed initially to integrate animals more fully into society. Its primary focus was on the transitional housing program, offering users with pets, experiencing homelessness, an opportunity to access housing without exclusion based on pet ownership—a common challenge in homelessness programs. While the project has now expanded its scope to include various aspects of the organization, such as the day center and overdose prevention program, the committee's direction has evolved in new and dynamic ways.
After extensive research and collaboration with organizations and partners dedicated to animal welfare, we were introduced to the concept of Animal-Assisted Therapy in social intervention. This innovative practice, relatively unfamiliar in the Montreal area, became a catalyst for reshaping the foundations of the Animal Inclusion project. Subsequently, a pilot committee was established to formulate best practices for promoting animal inclusivity, considering their needs, across all of the organization's services. The committee is comprised of:
Caroline Leblanc - T.S, M.Serv.soc. - F.A.C.E Research Project: Candidate for a PhD in Community Health - Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences - Université de Sherbrooke
Jamie Saad - Community Project Manager - SPCA
Animal Law Committee at the University of Sherbrooke
PACS Project - Social Service Technical students at Dawson College
