The BC Wildlife Park is a non-profit organization dedicated to rescuing, rehabilitating, and caring for British Columbia’s wildlife - but we can’t do it alone. As a registered charity, we rely on the generosity of our community to continue providing expert animal care, conservation programs, and educational initiatives. Whether you choose to donate, volunteer, or sponsor an animal, every contribution makes a difference. Learn how you can support the park and help protect local wildlife.
Our latest fundraising initiative is a Legacy Brick sale. with proceeds going to an accessible and inclusive playground.
This is your chance to purchase a brick to honour your family, a loved one, your business, or a pet! Each purchased brick will be carefully sandblasted and painted with a special weatherproof paint that will stand the test of time. Bricks will then be set in a path that will be installed at the Park - and enjoyed for generations to come!
Bricks are offered in 3 sizes, and qualify for a donation income receipt!

The BC Wildlife Park receives very limited funding - you can help us give Wild Lives a second chance!
The BC Wildlife Park, Fawcett Family Wildlife Health Centre, and the Burrowing Owl Breeding Program are both funded by gate admissions and from generous donors.
100% of your donation is used to assist us with the ongoing costs associated with the caring of some of British Columbia's iconic wildlife.
