This was our first visit to the River Run Centre and we were very impressed. the venue is beautiful and the sound quality was excellent. Our only caution is to arrive early as parking seems very limited. We ended up having to park a 10+ minute walk away.

Enjoy a day in the country. The Donkey Sanctuary of Canada is a lifelong home to over 70 donkeys, mules and hinnies that have been abused, neglected or are no longer wanted.We recently relocated the Long Ears Boutique so it is now closer to the parking lot. It is here that you will receive your safety talk before entering the donkeys world. Each year we strive to improve access to the animals and property. Two accessible parking spaces have been relocated to provide easier access to the Boutique and safety talk. In the new improved Boutique you can now use your debit cards to purchase your donkey memorbilia and cold drinks.All proceeds from the Boutique go to the care of the donkeys.Don't forget to visit the new Donkey Gallery where you will find the donkey profiles. If you decide you want to help care for the donkeys, you can fill out a sponsorship form for a minimum of $50/year. You can also give as a gift to someone who has everything.The interactive Learning Centre has lots of information for all ages...everything from books to bones. See how we treat an abscessed hoof. Find out what a slipper hoof is. Learn what food is best for donkeys. Hint: All hay is not created equal.From the Learning Centre pass through the barnyard gate where you can interact with the donkeys who love a good brush and scratch behind the ears.Your are invited to listen to one of three scheduled donkey talks. Learn about the challenges donkeys face in North America.Then make your way down to the century old barn that has been converted into the Treatment Centre and visit the main herd up at the new Donkey House....and don't forget to greet the mules before you make your way to the picnic area overlooking the pond.Finish up your day with a walk along the trails in the wetlands and woodlands.

I go to the Donkey Sanctuary regularly and have been a hands on volunteer in past years. Now I continue to donate to this wonderful sanctuary where there is top notch care for these amazing animals, too many of which have endured bad treatment in the past. I encourage people to go and be educated about these endearing creatures. I have attended the sanctuary on my own, with friends and with groups. The one thing that bothered me was that strollers were not allowed inside the sanctuary which makes it difficult for families with babies and young children. Having to carry them around in hot weather is very tiring.
