It is 40 years this year since Gozo SPCA was founded by 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 today in the greatly reduced numbers of stray dogs andferal cats.

To mark this anniversary, Gozo SPCA is holding an exhibition at the Ministry for Gozo exhibition hall, St Francis Square, Victoria, being officially opened by Minister for Gozo Anton Refalo, tomorrow at 2pm until Tuesday, May 3.

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

President Marie-Louise Coleiro Preca will be visiting the exhibition on Saturday.

The exhibition will be open from 9am to 4.30pm each day, except Tuesday, when it will close at 1pm.
