The vision of Wildlife Rescue Association of British Columbia is to continually improve the welfare of urban wildlife. Our mission is to provide leadership in rehabilitating wildlife and in promoting the welfare of wild animals in the urban environment. We run a wildlife hospital located on a single site at the edge of Burnaby Lake. We treat over 6,000 wild birds and bats each year and provide public education through 30,000 calls to our Wildlife Helpline. Our Business Operations department plans, coordinates and oversees all our programs including development, communications, resources and volunteering. Each year, 250 volunteers participate in a range of positions both on and off site. We are currently seeking volunteers to help transport wildlife patients and supplies to and from Animal Emergency Clinic of the Fraser Valley (AECFV) to our wildlife hospital. AECFV Transport Drivers are accountable to the Support Centre’s staff and volunteers for responding to transport requests on Saturdays and representing Wildlife Rescue to partners and the public in a positive and professional way.
