Most guide dog handlers will tell you that being denied access because of your guide dog is a humiliating and frustrating experience. Imagine walking into a restaurant and being told, "You can't come in," or being stranded at an airport because none of the taxis will take you home, or making a room reservation, only to have it cancelled by the hotel because you're not welcome. Not only is it degrading, but it's illegal to deny access or refuse service to a person who's working with a guide dog in Canada. Yet, it happens every day.

If you are denied access (or if you have witnessed a guide dog access refusal), it’s important that you know your rights. Download our Guide Dog Handler Advocacy Toolkit designed to support and empower you in your self-advocacy efforts. Link in bio!

"I love the job my son, Rocky, did colouring in this page. He coloured this one in after Maxwell and I visited his school earlier in the year – but you can pick one up from your local @RensPets or download one at guidedogchampions.ca. It's a great way to start a conversation about Guide Dogs and help spread awareness during Guide Dog Access Awareness Month. Rocky coloured the dog in yellow and added some big buildings that the handler and Guide Dog are walking towards. There is a blue sky behind with a yellow sun in the corner of the page. He has added the words, "Max Straight." 🦮

In all of Canada's provinces and territories, huma

In all of Canada's provinces and territories, human rights legislation prohibits discriminating against a person with a disability who is working with a guide dog.

Despite it being against law to refuse service or deny access to a person accompanied by a guide dog, it happens every day – especially in taxis, restaurants, hotels and stores.

You can’t discriminate against someone who works with a guide dog, and you can’t deny access to a guide dog partnership. Familiarize yourself with the laws that protect guide dog teams. And if you see a guide dog handler being discriminated against, please consider stepping up and offering assistance.

Guide dogs belong everywhere – it’s the law. 🦮

Our guide dog partnership colouring sheet is a great way for the entire family to get creative while having an important discussion about guide dog partnerships and guide dog access.

You can pick up a colouring sheet at a @RensPets location near you or download a copy at www.guidedogchampions.ca.

The colouring sheet features an outline of a person and a guide dog with lots of white space so the artist can decide where they would take their guide dog – to a movie, school, restaurant, mall, etc. 🦮
