Teddy Bears’ Picnic 2025
Dr. Goodbear, Manitoba’s mascot for hope and healing, is inviting families to a beloved community tradition – the 36th Teddy Bears’ Picnic at Assiniboine Park on Sunday, September 7, 2025, from 9 AM to 4 PM. Kids can bring their favorite teddy bear for a fun-filled day, starting with the Teddy Bears’ Pancake Breakfast by IHOP from 9 to 11:30 AM, and enjoy an unforgettable celebration that supports children’s health care.

This Winnipeg tradition, started by volunteers over 36 years ago, now features more than 20 activity tents. Highlights include the Dr. Goodbear Clinic, run by frontline staff from HSC Children’s Hospital, where teddy bears get “check-ups” with MRIs, X-rays, and casts, plus the I Want to be a Scientist Tent by the Children’s Hospital Research Institute of Manitoba (CHRIM), inspiring kids with hands-on science activities.

Families can also look forward to entertainment, food vendors, and opportunities to support the cause through volunteering, sponsorships, and the Teddy Bears’ Picnic 50/50 Raffle. After last year’s triumphant return, this year promises to be even bigger – a day of hope, healing, and fun for all ages.

📍 Location: Assiniboine Park, 55 Pavilion Crescent, Winnipeg

Share This Story
🐾 Free Pet Vaccination Clinic in Winnipeg – September 28, 2025
Celebrate World Rabies Day with Free Pet Health Services
For anyone with cats or dogs in Winnipeg, here’s something worth checking out this weekend. On Sunday, September 28, 2025, the Winnipeg Humane Society, Feed the Furbabies Canada, and Veterinarians Without Borders North America are teaming up to host a Free Pet Health Clinic from 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM at Valour Community Centre (448 Burnell Street).

🐶 What’s Included at the Clinic?
This walk-in clinic is offering some really great free services for pets:
💉 Vaccinations for rabies, distemper, and parvovirus
🩺 Basic health check-ups for cats and dogs
🐱 Flea and ear mite treatments for cats
🥫 Free pet food from Feed the Furbabies Canada (while supplies last)
No need to register or book ahead—just show up with your furry friend.
📊 Why It Matters
Rabies is something that can be completely prevented with vaccines, yet it’s still a concern worldwide. Events like this not only keep pets safe but also help protect the whole community. Last year over 300 pets got their shots at this same clinic, and it looks like this year could be just as busy.
📍 Event Snapshot

🗓️ Date: Sunday, September 28, 2025
🕘 Time: 9:00 AM – 6:00 PM
📍 Location: Valour Community Centre, 448 Burnell St
🐾 Services: Vaccines, check-ups, flea & mite treatment, pet food
🚪 Entry: Walk-in only

🧡 Tips for a Smooth Visit

Show up early if possible—lines can get long
Bring some water and maybe a snack for your pet
Dogs should be on a leash, and cats should be in carriers
Remember the volunteers are doing their best—patience goes a long way

🌍 Join the Movement
World Rabies Day is all about prevention and awareness. Stopping by this clinic is a simple way to keep pets healthy while also being part of something bigger that helps animals and people alike.
For updates, it’s worth following the Winnipeg Humane Society and Feed the Furbabies Canada on social media.
