Lakeland Veterinary Services presents donation to humane society

This past hockey season, Lakeland Veterinary Services once again returned with their ‘he shoots, he scores’ initiative, where for every goal the Battlefords North Stars scored, Lakeland Veterinary Services would donate $5 to the Battlefords Humane Society.

While the 2016-17 league champion North Stars found the back of the net 223 times for a donation of $1,115, the 2017-18 North Stars actually scored more goals, totalling 229.

That means this year’s donation was $1,145, which was presented by Lakeland owner and veterinarian Shawn Haas to humane society shelter coordinator Michelle Spark on Tuesday morning.

“We’re going to put it towards the building fund,” Spark said on the morning show with Grant Schutte. “We’re at about $535,000, give or take. It’s growing, slowly. But it’s growing.”
