If you haven’t already heard, the Wilder Institute / Calgary Zoo is undertaking a huge redevelopment of Canadian Wilds! The redeveloped space will showcase your zoo’s active role in Canadian wildlife conservation, share Indigenous Ways of Knowing, and tell stories that connect visitors with Canada’s wild wonders.

#GivingTuesday, a global movement dedicated to giving and unity, will take place on November 30, 2021. This year, we are humbled to share that Calgary philanthropist and community leader Mary Rozsa de Coquet has generously offered to match all gifts made to the Wilder Institute / Calgary Zoo on #GivingTuesday, up to $50,000.

Ready to double your impact? Make your gift to the Canadian Wilds redevelopment on #GivingTuesday to support new, enriching animal habitats and inspiring wildlife experiences for all.

Want to learn more about the Canadian Wilds redevelopment and wildlife conservation? Join us live on Facebook at 9:00am and 1:00pm this #GivingTuesday for some candid conversations with our Animal Care, Health & Welfare and Development teams, along with some special animal guests.

Special thanks to Mary Rozsa de Coquet for partnering with us to inspire actions that protect our precious Canadian landscape and connect visitors with our majestic wildlife.

And thanks to YOU, whose support means there will be wildlife, wild places and thriving communities in our future.
