To whom it may concern,

I am the life skills instructor at the Burnaby Youth Custody Centre. The centre’s residents range from 12 to 18 years of age and are sentenced to custody from the lower mainland area. The youth housed here are generally unfit for other settings due to their potential for violent unpredictable behavior.  The environment is challenging and sometimes difficult for our staff and contractors.

The department concentrates on providing results oriented, significant programs that may help residents successfully return to the community and function as a positive part of society.  The “Canadian K9 Detection” program has been an asset and a welcome program in assisting us with this provincial mandate.

One of the programs we run at the centre is named “Life Skills “.  This program covers various topics such as developing employable skills, conflict resolution, yoga, tai chi, hygiene, cooking, animal care, etc.  It is a tremendous asset to have organizations such as the Canadian K9 Detection Group come in to this program. This is a valuable resource that assists the program department in meeting our goals with the residents at the centre.

The Canadian K9 Detection Group attended our centre on March 23, 2011; I have had many positive comments from both staff and residents regarding their sessions with our residents.  The sessions were carried out professionally and all involved were treated with respect which allowed the residents to open up and ask questions about the animals.

We would very much like to see Canadian K9 Detection Group continue their positive relationship with our centre. It has become a valuable resource for the centre.  The program department sincerely appreciates their efforts and sincerely believes that they make a positive contribution to the youth in custody at our centre.

Re: Canadian K9 Detection Security & Investigations Ltd.

Canadian K9 Detection Security & Investigations Ltd. Had provided 24/7 security services at a B.C. Housing development in Surrey, B.C. for several months earlier this year. The development is a 400 unit apartment complex which houses a wide variety of tenants ranging from seniors, tenants with active drug and alcohol issues, mental health issues and formerly homeless people. This challenging site was facing numerous security issues with drug dealers and prostitutes coming onto the site. The security guards were very polite and firm in their dealings with the tenants, and very helpful in working with the building staff in resolving tenant conflicts and/or security issues. Canadian K9 Detection Security & Investigations Ltd. Was instrumental in reducing the problems on site.

I have no reservations in recommending the services of Canadian K9 Detection Security & Investigations Ltd. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to call me.

Yours truly,

David Chow

Re: Canadian K9 Group Ltd.

It is my pleasure to send this letter of recommendation for a company that I have used for almost 5 years now. I have used them for fire watch security, personal security and building security. I have found them to be second to none in every situation they have been put in. Their customer service and response time is excellent. They show incredible expertise and compassion when they deal with our tenants and clients. From the most vulnerable to the most difficult, they are able to make a connection with them and at the same time ensure that the surroundings and building are secured.

I would not hesitate to use them in any situation.

To Whom It May Concern:

I have dealt with Canadian K9 Detection Security and investigations since 2004, during which time they have provided the Cruise Industry with excellent support in the areas of Dockside Security; namely with Canine Explosive and Drug Detection on ships Stores and Baggage. Their work has contributed to the success of the Cruise Line business in the Port of Vancouver.

The Vancouver Cruise Docks are a hub of activity and highly congested with Trucks, Buses, Labourers, Crew Members and Vendors working in confined areas. Canadian K9 Handlers and Dogs are non-threatening and non-aggressive in a very busy Terminal.

I can confidently recommend Canadian K9 Group as a solid and reliable supplier and experts in their field. If you require further information, please do not hesitate to contact me directly.

Attention: Dale Crump

On behalf of the residents and owners at the Cielo building, we would like to thank you for the work that you and your canine partners did in our building. The strata council at Cielo views security as one of our top priorities and we hired your firm to come into the building to sweep the resident floor lobby areas, common space, parking areas and storage locker spaces to alert us to any concerns that we might have with drug related activities in our building.

Your team arrived on time and managed the sweep very efficiently and professionally. We were very impressed with the service. We were also pleased that the results turned up very few areas of concern. I wanted to let you know that there were two hastily organized moves that occurred at the time of the sweep and not surprisingly these were the two units that your team identified as areas of concern.

Yours truly,

Sandra Stoddart-Hansen

President, Cielo Strata Council

To Whom It May Concern:

RE: Canadian K-9

2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics

This will serve s confirmation that Canadian K-9 had performed security bomb detection services for the accommodation vessels for the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics Games. The vessels that were assigned to Vancouver for the 2010 Winter Olympics were the MS Oosterdam and the MS Statendam, both located at the Ballantyne Pier in Vancouver. The vessels were alongside from January 12^th through to March 04^th, 2010.

Canadian K-9 were professional in their conduct at all times. They made themselves available to us at any time for any security related services that we may needed.

Canadian K-9 have provided dog detection services for Holland America Line for a number of years and within that time, have demonstrated their trustworthiness, dedication to the profession and security. They have made themselves available to us at any time, and served our security needs in a seamless and consistent manner.

In my view, there is quite simply, no other K-9 detection services that I would consider using with respect to the security of any of our vessels.

I would most strongly recommend Canadian K-9 for any company requiring dog detection services.

If you have any questions with respect to Canadian K-9 and their services, please do not hesitate to contact me at any time, either by email or on my cell phone.

Kind regards

Holland America Line Inc.

Osprey Marine Ltd. & Mariner Seafoods Ltd. :

To Whom It May Concern:  

                Our company owns the fishing vessel Osprey No 1, a freezer trawler based out of Vancouver B.C. Since we bought our vessel in 2005, we have had random inspections done to ensure that our vessel remains drug free.

                We have worked with the K9 Group for a year now. Their service has been prompt and professional, their dogs well behaved and friendly. During our inspections the dogs inspect all the different areas of the vessel; the engine room, steering compartments, factory deck, gear rooms, crew quarters, galley, storage and bridge to name just a few.

                The inspections and posted signs provided by the K9 group have proved to be useful tools in keeping our vessel drug free.

Once again thanks to your staff both human and canine we were able to maintain housing that is safe and secure for our residents.

As always a pleasure to work with you and your team.
