The people helping carry Kelsey’s legacy forward through kindness, community support, and local fundraising.
"Animals have always been a huge part of my story! I love using my skills as a fear free certified pet groomer to help pets feel safe and secure during nail trims. Outside of the monthly events you will find me out swimming, curled up with an iced coffee, a good book and my cats Jynx and Styx, or out exploring with my dog Toriel."
"Animals have always been my passion. As an animal handler (and enthusiastic treat giver!), I love using my knowledge of animal behaviour and body language to help pets feel safe, understood, and comfortable during their nail trims. Outside of the fundraiser, you'll usually find me fostering rescue kittens, exploring nature, or out adventuring with my dog, Letty."
"I've always had a love for animals, which is why I'm proud to be part of The Kelsey Grant nail trims event. When I'm not working as a security guard or gaming, I enjoy spending time with my girlfriend, Alexis, and our dog, Letty–whether we're out for a walk or enjoying a swim.
At the event, I help greet visitors, hand out waivers, and jump in wherever I'm needed, especially when one of the bigger dogs needs an extra set of muscles!
Working alongside Alexis and Sam has been an incredibly rewarding experience, and I'm grateful to be part of a team that helps dogs and their owners in our community."
Kelsey Cunningham was known for her kindness, infectious laugh, and deep love for animals. She had a unique ability to make people feel welcome, valued, and cared for.
After her passing in 2020, family, friends, and community members came together to create "The Kelsey Grant" as a way to honour her life and continue the values she represented.
Every fundraiser, partnership, and act of kindness carries her legacy forward while supporting organizations that improve lives throughout our community.
