The Peterborough Humane Society received a special shoutout this week from TSN personality Bryan Hayes, who helped mark the organization’s milestone anniversary with a message of support.

Hayes is best known as the host of OverDrive, Canada’s #1 sports talk show on TSN, alongside Jamie “Noodles” McLennan and Jeff O’Neill.

The Peterborough Humane Society shared the video on social media, saying having Hayes take part in its birthday celebration was “an honour” and a moment the organization was excited to share.

The organization was established in 1941 and is celebrating 85 years of supporting animals across Peterborough and the surrounding area. Today, the Humane Society operates out of the Peterborough Animal Care Centre on Technology Drive, where it provides care, adoption services, humane education and community support programs.

As an open admission, For Life organization, the Peterborough Humane Society cares for approximately 1,500 pets each year and relies on community support to continue its work.

Hayes’ birthday message adds to a year of celebrations for an organization that has been part of the Peterborough community for more than eight decades.
