Who We Are
The Hamilton/Burlington Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals is not a government organization. It is a registered charitable, not-for-profit organization devoted to the prevention of cruelty to animals. The Society relies strongly on public and corporate donations, legacies, and fundraising campaigns to achieve its objectives.
The generosity of the community served helps support the animals in the SPCA's care and allows us to give something back to our community by offering a wide range of programs and services.
As an affiliate of the Ontario SPCA, our staff includes Inspectors and Agents given the same authority as police officers, under the OSPCA Act, when enforcing laws dealing with cruelty to animals.
A twelve member volunteer Board of Directors, elected annually from the local community, governs the Society. The board also includes an appointed representative from the Hamilton City Council. There are several Board committees that concentrate on specific aspects of the Society's work and recommend courses of action to the full Board of Directors.
