Assiniboine Park Zoo is opening up a new centre for injured, sick, and orphaned animals, allowing the public an avenue to save Manitoba wildlife.
The wildlife rescue and drop-off centre will be the first point of contact before the animals are sent to the wildlife haven’s center facilities in Ile des Chenes.
It’s open to the public from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. and is accessible on the west side of the zoo’s parking lot.
The aim of the program is to advocate and take action to protect wildlife in the province and keep them in their natural habitat.
Animals accepted include mammals, songbirds, raptors, and reptiles, but some animals are not permitted, including skunks, raccoons, and hooved animals.
More information can be found on the Assiniboine Park Conservancy’s website.
