WHO IS WAAG?

Windsor’s Animal Action Group (WAAG), formerly known as ARK II Windsor, is a working group of the Ontario Public Interest Research Group (OPIRG). We serve the Windsor and Essex County area and our mission is to prevent cruelty to, and encourage consideration for, all animals, human and non-human. We are active in the following areas: animal experimentation, animal agriculture, animals in entertainment, and animals used for fashion.

Our work is made possible through generous donations and committed volunteers.

WHAT WE DO

WAAG's activities are centered around public outreach and education.

We feature information tables and displays at several social functions and events throughout the year including EarthDay, MeatoutDay and World Farm Animals Day(WFAD-Oct.2nd). We on occasion have displays at the Windsor Public Library's downtown branch.

Throughout the year our volunteers also participate in peaceful public protests/demonstrations to educate the public about animal cruelty issues (we annually protest the circus, the fur industry and the Canadian seal hunt).

In the past We have made classroom presentations at several educational institutions in the Windsor/Essex County area, such as: Belle River, Holy Names, Massey, Villanova, St. Clair College and the University of Windsor.

Furthermore, every Monday from 4pm-5pm our volunteers broadcast Windsor's only animal rights program "Animal Airwaves" on CJAM 91.5fm. This award winning program discusses all of the issues effecting animals in today’s modern world. You can also tune in via the web at: www.cjam.ca
