Therapeutic Riding is a widely accepted treatment for a broad range of physical, behavioral, cognitive, emotional disabilities such as Autism, Asperger Syndrome, Downs Syndrome, Cerebral Palsy and ADHD to name a few. Therapeutic Riding is the use of the horse and equine-oriented activities to achieve a variety of therapeutic goals. Our facility provides a purposeful and safe environment where our riders can explore their abilities and enjoy the success of reaching objectives that are tailored to their individual skill level.

The Calgary Zoological Society was officially founded in 1929.

Our education team delivers more than 800 school programs to 21,000 students each year focusing on topics ranging from water conservation to saving endangered species. The ultimate goal is to motivate the next generation to take action. The Calgary Zoo’s Centre for Conservation Research conducts innovative research and participates in reintroduction programs that help secure the future of many Canadian endangered species. In addition, conservation initiatives throughout the world are identified and supported through the zoo’s Conservation Outreach. Over the past five years, more than 25 projects were supported in 20 countries and most involve community-based initiatives – helping local people to participate in conservation efforts in their own backyard.
