General Announcement from the SDDA!

New Trial Fees and Payment Information

Our organization has grown in size to the point where in order to manage our increasingly complex accounting and track our tax obligations, all sales must go through the website as of March 1, 2025. All items are now subject to the appropriate provincial sales tax. If absolutely necessary, please email stacey@sdda.ca to make specific arrangements for e-transfers or other forms of payment. Thank you for your understanding.

Help Plan the Future!

The SDDA is looking for a new Director at Large. This is a voting position within the Board of Directors affecting the rules and structure of the Sporting Detection Dogs Association. Requirements are a passion for detection sports, adherence to the Mission Statement of the SDDA and a desire to work with the Board of Directors in a constructive manner, focusing on positive outcomes. This position requires the willingness to attend the Annual General Meeting once a year and other major events as they arise. Zoom/Webex attendance is possible, but in-person is preferred (travel costs will be paid). Bilingual applicants will be prioritized as well as those with experience in managing educational programs and/or working within a not-for-profit organization. The main function of this position will be to develop and manage the SDDA judging program and act as liaison between hosts and judges.
If interested, please send a letter or CV to Board@SDDA.ca with the Subject line Application for Director at Large. We will be reaching out to all applicants by the end of May.

Thank you!

Norm Dressler, Secretary

on behalf of the Board of Directors
