A message from Greg Calleri, CEO, Markham Dog Alliance:​

​

Due to some personal challenges and after careful consideration, I’ve made the difficult decision to postpone the November Barkham: The Holiday Experience to February 2027.​

​

I know this is sad news for so many of you that were getting excited, but sometimes the best things need a little more time, the right conditions, and our personal health to come together the right way to make the magic happen.

​

This is the first time we’ve ever postponed an event, but trust me when I say I made this decision with all of us in mind.

​

.… so what happens next?

​

• I will be in touch with ticket holders with the updated event information and how transers will happen. 

• To our vendors, sponsors and partners: thank you for your continued patience, kindness and support - we will be in touch directly.

​

… the most important thing: We’re not saying goodbye - we’re just saying see you in February.

​

Take care of yourself over the holiday season - continue to be social and know others love you, give yourselves regular breaks and moments to appreciate life, and don’t let the world shape your heart and mind in a negative way - find peace in knowing who you are, that you belong, have a purpose, and your dogs see the best side in you that you should also see in yourself. Wishing your family and you happiness and health over the holiday season. 🫂

​

We’ll continue to do good for our community and the rescues that need us in 2027 - and hope you continue to join us in the purple coloured dog-friendly magic that is MDA. 💜🥹

​

See y’all next year MDA!

Greg & @legonandlinda
