Holiday Hounds

Holiday Hounds is a joyful Christmas event celebrating the incredible PADS facility dogs who work alongside Calgary Police and community partners to bring comfort, calm, and support to people when they need it most. For one festive day, these remarkable dogs will be on site to meet families, pose for photos, and soak up plenty of well‑deserved admiration.

Holiday Hounds transforms the Calgary Police Discovery Centre into a warm, family‑friendly holiday experience filled with interactive stations, festive treats, and unforgettable photo opportunities. This event is designed for parents, kids, dog lovers, and anyone looking to enjoy a cheerful Christmas outing in Calgary.

After years of holiday hijinks, the Grinch has finally been arrested by Calgary Police and locked safely inside our holding cell. Visitors are invited to stop by, witness the consequences of holiday mischief, and grab a photo with Calgary’s most notorious seasonal troublemaker.
