Education is crucial to achieving NAfA’s vision of a compassionate society that values the innate worth of all animals. NAfA volunteers are committed to informing the public about animal exploitation through community outreach.
Public Advertising Campaigns
NAfA is committed to highlighting animal issues through media campaigns. We have erected billboards throughout the Niagara Region to raise awareness on issues such as animals in captivity, the seal hunt, circus cruelty, factory farming, veganism, anti-fur, spay/neuter, rodeo cruelty, and egg-laying hens.
Outreach Displays
NAfA continues to raise awareness about animal cruelty by organizing informational displays at libraries and community events such as local veg-fests and similar venues. If you know of an upcoming event where NAfA might host a table and/or set-up a display, please let us know.
Humane Education
NAfA is available to speak to schools, community groups and city councils about a variety of animal rights/welfare topics. For example, NAfA successfully advocated for animals by convincing the City of St. Catharines to cease the lethal trapping of beavers. Let us organize an educational presentation for your group or classroom!
Demonstrations/ Protests
NAfA regularly organizes peaceful demonstrations to speak out against animal cruelty. We have coordinated demos to protest such things as animal-based circuses, rodeo events, animals in captivity, the fur industry, puppy-mill dogs and hunting.
Resource Donations
Having a centralized office allows us to provide a resource centre for the public. NAfA has compiled a comprehensive collection of educational materials on various animal related topics and we are happy to donate animal-friendly books and literature.
Sponsoring Animal Rights Events
NAfA hosts and sponsors community events on animal rights topics including guest speakers, conferences and film screenings. NAfA is also proud to have sponsored an annual bursary award to financially aid a full-time student at Brock University with a concentration in Critical Animal Studies and a passion for animal rights.
Promoting Veganism
NAfA is committed to promoting veganism. We have offered vegan cooking classes and for 7 years, NAfA was also a proud annual sponsor of Niagara Veg-Fest.
