Urban Barn Blankets the Country in Support of SPCA and Humane Society Organizations Across Canada
Urban Barn is pleased to continue spreading the warmth this holiday season with Blanket the Country, an annual campaign in support of SPCA and Humane Society organizations on a national scale.
From November 14th to December 15th, Urban Barn will be donating $5 from the sale of vegan faux fur blankets through Blanket the Country with all proceeds benefitting provincial animal welfare organizations and shelters from coast-to-coast. With a mission of making Canadians feel right at home and extending this to rescue animals, this year’s campaign will support BC SPCA, Alberta SPCA, Saskatchewan SPCA, Winnipeg Humane Society and Ontario SPCA and Humane Society and their programs for animal protection and animal advocacy.
“We have always felt that pets are an important part of the family, but many pets have yet to find their forever home,” says Linda Letts, President of Urban Barn. “Through Blanket the Country, we’re able to extend our love of pets from our pet-friendly furniture and accessories to funding and resources for SPCA organizations and their continued efforts towards animal welfare.”
Established in 2012, the annual campaign has supported a variety of welfare organizations each year, with previous programs successfully donating over 70,000 blankets to people and animals in need.
Available for purchase in-store or online, customers can choose from a variety of vegan faux fur throws and bedspreads, made from 100% synthetic materials. The campaign will also be included in Urban Barn’s Holiday 2019 “lookbook” featuring rescue animals who have benefited from SPCA programs.

The Mega Bucks 50 jackpot reached $607,200.00, which makes Carolyn Pelerine of Cochrane, Alberta the winner of $303,600.00.
In addition, the luxurious Tree Hugger Tiny Home Prize Package, complete with accessories by Urban Barn and valued at $163,798.00, is now owned by Mary Vincent of Red Deer.
The coveted Sorento Dream Home Prize Package, which includes furnishings and accessories by Urban Barn and boasts a total value of $1,072,624.00, has been awarded to Maxine Rumohr of Sylvan Lake.
The highly anticipated draw took place at 10:00 a.m. Thursday at the Red Deer Regional Health Foundation office, located within the Red Deer Regional Hospital Centre, with an announcement following live on Facebook, allowing participants and supporters to join in the excitement virtually.
“We are delighted to congratulate the winners of this year’s Red Deer Hospital Lottery,” said Manon Therriault, Chief Executive Officer of the Red Deer Regional Health Foundation. “The funds raised from this lottery will significantly contribute to enhancing patient care and services at the Red Deer Regional Hospital Centre. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to everyone who participated and supported this important cause.”
Proceeds from the Red Deer Hospital Lottery and Mega Bucks 50 will contribute to acquiring critically needed, state-of-the-art equipment for several units at the Red Deer Hospital.
This year’s lottery will fund equipment such as a phototherapy system, which allows parents to hold and soothe their infant while undergoing phototherapy, a cardiology case cart to monitor cardiac rhythms during stress testing, and other equipment to help provide excellent care for patients in the emergency and operating rooms at the Red Deer Hospital.
The winners of a variety of electronics were also drawn today. A full list of winners will be available in the coming days on the official lottery website at reddeerhospitallottery.ca. Prize winners who have not already been notified will receive a letter in the mail with instructions on how to claim their prizes.
The keys to the Sorento Dream Home and the Tree Hugger Tiny Home will be presented to the winners at a special ceremony this summer.
