Toronto Wildlife Centre

Our Mission

Toronto Wildlife Centre (TWC) is a registered charity that strives to help people and wildlife through two main avenues:

1) Wildlife Services - rescuing wildlife in distress, and providing care and medical treatment to sick, injured and orphaned wild animals with the goal of releasing recovered patients back into the wild;

2) Public Education - teaching people about wildlife and wildlife issues via the Wildlife Hotline, presentations and other educational venues.

We admit over 4,500 animals for care and treatment each year, and respond to approximately 30,000 wildlife-related calls on our Wildlife Hotline annually. Since opening in 1993, we have treated more than 32,000 wild patients - representatives of more than 200 species of wildlife.

Toronto Wildlife Centre works in cooperation with organizations and agencies at local, regional, national and international levels to ensure that the best possible help is available for wild animals and the people who live alongside them.
