Western Canada’s busiest wildlife rehabilitation centre
This Giving Tuesday, help rebuild safe recovery spaces
Thousands of ducks, swans, and other wild patients rely on waterfowl pens to recover before release — but rotting wood and unsafe steps are putting animals, staff, and volunteers at risk. Your generosity secures a safe recovery space for countless wild patients.
About the Wildlife Rescue Association
Wildlife living in urban areas face many challenges and dangers, such as busy roads, loss of habitat, pollution, pet predation, and unsecured garbage. The Wildlife Rescue Association of British Columbia works to mitigate this impact on wildlife.
Since 1979, we’ve operated a wildlife hospital and a support centre in Burnaby, BC. Our main goals are to rehabilitate wildlife impacted by urban life, and to empower communities to coexist harmoniously with wildlife through education and outreach.
With a team of professional wildlife rehabilitators and an army of volunteers, we provide temporary refuge and care to injured birds, bats, and other wildlife, treating close to 5,000 animals each year.
