The Beginning of the Recovery

It was terrible weather for us all, but a good day nevertheless. We made good progress on basic site cleanup, shovelling gravel & wood chips. Most volunteers were employees from CityWest, but there were many others also.

The workparty at the end of the day.

The girls from CityWest were presenting a $1,000.00 cheque from CityWest and also $188.00 in cash which came from the employees at CityWest. The money will go towards rebuilding of the pens.

  UPDATE:

The Prince Rupert Wildlife Rehab Shelter wishes to announce that our fundraising for the replacement of our destroyed pens was overwhelming to say the least. We reached our goal & more, but couldn't have done it without the compassion and caring of our community and outlying areas. The response was fantastic! The different ways people donated was amazing. From the boy and girl that donated their birthday money, to the fellow that brought out supplies... it went on and on. People gave what they could, and it was all equally appreciated by the Shelter.
