The BC Wildlife Park’s Fawcett Family Wildlife Health Centre is a specialized hospital and rehabilitation facility dedicated not only to providing veterinary services for the resident animals of the BC Wildlife Park, but also to the health and welfare of native injured and orphaned wild animals in British Columbia’s southern interior.
This facility is the only wildlife rehabilitation organization in the Thompson-Okanagan region that cares for a wide range of species, including birds, mammals, reptiles, and amphibians. Each year, between 300 and 500 animals receive care and treatment from qualified veterinary and animal care staff and a roster of highly dedicated volunteers. Through coordination with the Canadian Wildlife Service and the Ministry of the Environment, the Wildlife Health Centre is permitted to release all suitably rehabilitated animals back into their natural environment.
The BC Wildlife Park is a Not-For-Profit organization, and the Wildlife Health Centre is funded entirely by Park admissions and kind donations community partners and from the public.
