The Cobequid Wildlife Rehabilitation Centre
(CWRC) has been serving Nova Scotia for nearly 20 years. We have helped
thousands of injured and orphaned Nova Scotia wildlife receive the care they
needed to get them back on their feet for release in the wild. We are
fully permitted to rehabilitate all bird species, amphibians, reptiles,
and some small mammals. Our special expertise in the rehabilitation of raptors
is appreciated by wildlife rehabilitation centers near and far. We have the
only continuous flight centre for rehabilitating large raptors in Canada, and
we are one of only four such facilities in all of North America.
Our Wildlife Operations Manager, Brenda
Boates, is certified by the International Wildlife Rehabilitation Council. She
works tirelessly with a small and committed group of volunteers
which includes veterinarians, and students, to provide the highest
standards of rehabilitative care to our patients.
We are a small, grassroots organization, and as such we depend entirely on
public support. Traditionally our fundraising efforts are focused on in person
activities such as bake sales, public workshops, and our annual benefits
concert. But this year has been different from any other, and so we bring you
our "50/50 Win for Wildlife" Lottery series hosted by
RaffleBox.
The funds raised from all of our
fundraising efforts go directly back to wildlife care. Our goals for
fundraising at this time and into 2021 include:
- · Everyday supplies for the daily
care and husbandry of wildlife
- ·
New outdoor enclosure(s) - we
had the exciting opportunity to work with the Dalhousie University on a
conceptual project in 2020, and we would love to see their design come to life
in 2021 - stay tuned for more information!

Updating our existing
buildings
All of us here at the CWRC thank you for
your generous support and wish you luck in our Win For Wildlife raffles.
