From August 3 – 6, you can 'Raise the Woof' at the Westshore Town Centre as the shopping complex will be hosting a free-to-attend balloon dog art exhibit.

From paintings to sculptures and even a photo op with life-sized balloon dogs, this is one event sure to get the whole family’s tails wagging.

Guests are also invited to “adopt” their favourite balloon animal art pieces by donation with proceeds going to Raincoast Dog Rescue in Victoria. You will be able to bring home your newly adopted friend following the conclusion of the exhibit.

EVP of Canadian Retail at QuadReal, Chrystal Burns is excited for the experience as it is a part of an innovative way to bring people together.

“QuadReal is so pleased that our retail properties are social gathering hubs within the communities they serve, and we are always looking for innovative ways to bring people together through unique and engaging experiences,” says Burns. “This year’s ‘Air of Surprise’ events connect our retail properties across Canada in a unique campaign designed for guests to engage with beautiful works of art right in their own backyard. It also allows us to give a few of our lucky visitors something back, as our appreciation for their loyalty to our local retail spaces.”
