This year marks the 40th anniversary of the foundation of Gozo SPCA by a British resident Jane Sedgfield. She was concerned by the number of stray cats and dogs in Gozo and also at the difficulties of finding veterinary care for companion animals.

The results of her initiative and the work of many others who have followed in her footsteps can be seen all around the island today, with the greatly reduced numbers of stray dogs and feral cats.

To mark this anniversary Gozo SPCA is holding an exhibition at the Ministry for Gozo Exhibition Hall, St Francis Square, Victoria, from Wednesday, the 27th of April to Tuesday, the 3rd of May.

The exhibition will be officially opened by the Minister for Gozo, Dr Anton Refalo on Wednesday, the 27th of April at 2.00 pm and on Saturday, the 30th of April, President Marie-Louise Coleiro Preca, will visit the exhibition.

The exhibition will feature work by Gozitan school children, as well as illustrating the work done by Gozo SPCA over the last 40 years.

Gozo SPCA would like to thank the following organisations for sponsoring the event: Borg Cardona (Royal Canin), Vini e Capricci (Abrahams), Lord Chambray brewery. Also Sir MA Refalo Sixth Form for help with the printing of the exhibition poster.

The exhibition will be open from 9.00am to 4.30pm each day, apart from the last day, Tuesday the 3rd of May, when it will close at 13.00.
