On December 15th, 2003, City of Mount Pearl Mayor at the time, Steve Kent, proclaimed the day as Shed Dawgs Day. (Thanks in large part to Shed Dawg Paul ''Rook'' Brothers).
October 28th, 2007 marked the 5th annual proclamation. The 2007 proclamation marked the last official act as mayor for Steve Kent as he was elected into the Newfoundland Provincial Government as a Member of the House of Assembly (MHA) in September of 2007.
In 2008 the tradition continued with Mount Pearl Mayor Randy Simms proclaiming Shed Dawgs Day on November 30th.
In 2009, Newfoundland MHA member and Shed Dawg, Steve Kent once again proclaimed Shed Dawgs Day from a provincial level. (Although according to his own admissions he has no authority to do so!) In any event, the Shed Dawgs look forward to celebrating their 8th annual Shed Dawgs Day in 2010.
