Caring for wildlife since 1979
Wildlife Rescue began when a group of dedicated nature lovers saw that no one was working to help wildlife affected by human activity in urban areas. Since then, we’ve become Western Canada’s busiest wildlife rehabilitation centre. Now, we work with professional wildlife rehabilitators and volunteers to provide temporary refuge and care to birds, bats, and other wildlife in distress. We also empower communities with the knowledge and tools to coexist safely and compassionately with wildlife, helping prevent harm before it happens.
About us
When we work together, wildlife gets a second chance
Birds, bats and other wildlife living in urban areas face many dangers, including busy roads, loss of habitat, pollution, pet predation, and unsecured garbage. With your support, we can mitigate this impact and give injured, sick and orphaned wildlife another chance at life in the wild.
These are the people you talk to when you find wildlife in distress. We field over 50,000 requests for help each year.
Close to 5,000 injured, sick and orphaned animals are treated every year by our medical staff. We care for them until they’re strong enough to return home.
When people find birds and other wildlife in need, we transport them safely to our facilities and back to their wild home when it’s time for them to go free. Our volunteers drive nearly 45,000 kilometres annually (that’s the equivalent of driving across Canada and coming home 4 times)!
Our care doesn’t end when animals return to the wild. Our mission includes working with the public to safely coexist with birds and other wildlife in urban settings. In addition to community events, we reach tens of thousands of people through our email newsletters and social media accounts.
