With a mission to meet the growing demand for professionally trained service dogs across British Columbia and Alberta, the organization needed a facility that could handle heavy daily traffic while supporting both staff and dogs in a safe, functional environment.
Working closely with distributor Erv Parent, the project team prioritized a flooring system that balanced durability, slip resistance, and ease of maintenance. The selected product needed to perform reliably in demanding, high-use areas while contributing to a cohesive and welcoming environment throughout the facility.
Altro Walkway 20 was installed throughout 1,210 square yards of the facility by Beatty Floors, including 640 square yards in Blizzard and 570 square yards in River. Its 2mm slip-resistant surface provides secure footing for staff and service dogs, while its hard-wearing construction ensures long-term durability under constant use.
The flooring was installed across training rooms, kennel spaces, preparation zones, and common areas, creating a resilient and easy-to-clean foundation for daily operations. Its cleanability reduces maintenance time, allowing staff to focus on the care and training of service dogs rather than facility upkeep.
Opened in 2025, the facility now benefits from a cohesive, functional, and visually appealing environment designed to support its life-changing mission across British Columbia and Alberta.
Altro Walkway 20: 2mm slip-resistant safety flooring designed for heavy-traffic environments requiring durability, secure footing, and easy maintenance
“From an installation perspective, Altro Walkway 20 performed exactly as expected on a demanding project like the BC & Alberta Guide Dogs facility. The material handled well, detailing was clean, and the finished system delivers the slip resistance, durability, and hygiene standards the environment requires. It’s the kind of install where you know the floor will perform long after we’ve left the site.”
“This project also hit close to home for our crew. Knowing there was a personal connection to the BC & Alberta Guide Dogs organization on the install team made the work even more meaningful. We weren’t just finishing a project. We were supporting something that changes lives. Sixteen years earlier, our mechanic Shaun Wadsworth’s son required the services of a guide dog, and the life-changing support they provide was immeasurable.”
