The Pretty Pawz team is once again raising funds for Movember, with a nail-clipping fundraiser.

Now in its third year, Jeanie Hall and Cassidy Roe will be at Van Isle Veterinary Clinic on Nov. 30 from 9 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. to take care of your pets’ nails.

The Movember initiative is responsible for funding research and raising awareness for prostate cancer and overall mental health for men.

The cause is close to Roe’s heart.

“I chose the Movember fundraiser because my dad has prostate cancer so I wanted to help raise funds,” she said. “Van Isle Vet is so supportive. They let us do it there every year, because we get such a big crowd coming in. With my co-worker (Hall) helping, we do it on a Thursday because it’s a day we both are not otherwise working so we can get them all done together.

“Our target this year is $2,200.”

Nail trimmings take 10 minutes. Appointments must be made in advance. Call 250-334-8400, or email reception@vanislevet.com to book a time. The cost is $25.
