Wildlife Rescue Association Of British Columbia
CanadaAnimals/Wildlife
The Wildlife Rescue Association of BC is a charitable, not-for-profit society, located in Burnaby, British Columbia. A small group of concerned citizens formed the Association in 1979 to assist growing numbers of orphaned and injured wild animals, primarily in the Lower Mainland region. The public had formerly brought these animals to veterinarians, local naturalists, and the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA), none of whom were equipped or specially trained to care for wildlife. Today, with the aid of six full-time staff, a consulting veterinarian and 184 volunteers, WRA admits an annual average of 3,000 patients representing 140 species of birds and mammals. We also teach people how to co-exist with wildlife, and have become one of the primary response groups for wildlife impacted by oil spills and pollution damage.
