Fame, Fur, and Firefighters
The 2026 LAPS Calendar Contest isn’t just a chance to celebrate your pet. It’s your chance to turn them into a local legend.
Top 12 Fundraisers
The 12 pets who raise the most will each:
Be professionally photographed by a local photographer
Be paired with a firefighter or RCMP officer for a one-of-a-kind photoshoot experience
Be featured in the 2026 LAPS Calendar, with the top overall fundraiser claiming the cover
Photoshoots will be arranged with plenty of advanced notice.
Bonus Spot Draw
There’s more than one way to win. For every $100 raised, you’ll earn one entry into a draw for the 13th calendar feature. That means the more you raise, the better your odds—even if you're not in the top 12. Winners of the top 12 spots are not eligible for the draw.
If a winner entered with a beloved pet who has passed away, they may select a LAPS adoptable animal to star in the photoshoot and calendar on their behalf (as long as the animal is emotionally suited for the experience).
Other Surprises
Bonus prizing and limited-time vote-matching opportunities may be unlocked as sponsors allow—watch your inbox and follow us on social for updates!
