FLAP is a charitable not-for-profit, founded in 1993 to address the issue of bird collisions with human-built structures. Since its inception, FLAP volunteers have recovered over 59,000 birds from 166 species, all victims of collisions with a handful of buildings in the Greater Toronto Area. It is unsettling to add that 64 of these species are in serious population decline. Our dedication has placed bird collisions with buildings on the wildlife conservation map, and in doing so, has proven this issue to be the leading cause of bird death across North America. As a world-first organization, FLAP has mobilized the NGO, business, educational and government sectors to find progressive ways to protect birds from the hazards of our built environment. FLAP has created models for replicability of both our awareness and rescue initiatives, like those now running strong in New York, Chicago, Montreal and Minneapolis.

The Calgary Zoological Society was officially founded in 1929. Key to the zoo’s mission is generating affection for the amazing animals that call the zoo home, and inspiring people to care about their wild relatives. 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.

Back in 1999, a group of volunteers within the community wanted to create a fundraiser to raise funds that would be designated to purchasing an accessible taxi van, so that individuals with mobility impairments in the Town of Richmond Hill would have more access to transit through the Richmond Hill Transit system. At that time, each municipality in York Region ran their own transit system. There was a similar organization that was already incorporated in the Town of Markham, and their example was helpful with a track record of raising funds on an annual basis to purchase wheelchair accessible vans for transit in the Town of Markham. From that point, the idea was formed to create a Richmond Hill Mobility and Accessibility Foundation. The founders of this foundation wanted to raise funds so that individuals could move more freely in the Town of Richmond Hill via the transit services.
