In the late 1990's, a group of guide dog users, most of whom resided in Ottawa, resolved to resurrect the organization that had slipped into suspended animation on the untimely death of its former president, Mary Spice. In its infancy, it was known as CAGDU--the Canadian Association of Guide Dog Users--but when CAGDU's incorporation papers couldn't be found, the dedicated group was left with no choice but to set about founding an entirely new organization: GDUC--Guide Dog Users of Canada.
