Every spring and summer, hundreds of orphaned animals are turned into the Wildlife Haven Rehabilitation Centre.
On Sunday, the centre’s staff threw a baby shower to benefit those animals.
The Southdale Community Centre was the scene of the Wildlife Haven’s 4th annual spring baby shower and fundraiser.
Staff and volunteers who care for the animals organized the event.
It was a unique chance for the public to have a picture taken with some of the rescued wildlife.
Organizers say they take in over 800 infant animals around this time of year — of every imaginable kind.
“Pretty much all wildlife: we take in all birds, most mammals, we get in squirrels, bunnies. We’ve just gotten a bunch of groups of ducklings, goslings into the centre right now. We have five little baby foxes we’re raising right now. So, we get in pretty much all the different infants,” says Dan Diawol, president of the Wildlife Haven Rehabilitation Centre.
The centre is located north of Ile des Chenes.
Diawol says to contact them before interfering with infant animals in the wild. Sometimes it’s best to just let them be.
