da. With the mission to Build a Healthy
Community for People and Wildlife, we help by providing a wildlife hotline,
rescue, veterinary and rehabilitation services for wildlife, and educating the
public about wildlife issues.

is a big time of change for Toronto Wildlife Centre. Our current building has
been slated for demolition and we have to move. The move will be a permanent
one, to a purpose-built home for the centre. As a result, we are embarking on a
capital campaign to raise the funds for the new facility, and working with a
team of volunteer consultants on the planning phase.
