Did you know?

Did you know that the inaugural meeting of the Association of Island Obedience Clubs (AIOC) took place Feb. 6, 1960 in Duncan? Formed to "foster the co-operation and integration of dog obedience training clubs on Vancouver Island," the association's function was to "act as a clearing house for dates of proposed trials and track tests."

The AOIC's Team Challenge is a fun event held once a year in the mid-Island city of Nanaimo. The 2009 competition took place March 8. The Forbidden Plateau club won the three-member team event, while Cowichan club took top honours in the two-member (different levels) team competition. The 2010 Challenge was May 2 in Nanaimo.

Happy 50th anniversary, AIOC, from NOSA. Have a look at some great photos taken by Nanaimo Kennel Club's Wendy Tisdall and Gary Trimble during special 50th anniversary celebration May 2.
