Ile des Chênes, Manitoba

Wildlife Haven Rehabilitation Centre cares for injured and orphaned wildlife from all over Manitoba and Northwestern Ontario.  In 1984, a group of environmentally-concerned volunteers started the organization out of their backyards.

Wildlife Haven is dedicated to

-         -  the rehabilitation and successful release of injured and orphaned wildlife back to their natural environment,

-         -  providing valuable outreach and education services to the community, and

-          - engaging volunteers in a rewarding experience. 

Over the years, more than 35,000 injured and orphaned wildlife have been cared for.  

Wildlife Haven is building a new wildlife hospital and education center.   There will be a variety of enclosures for the rehabilitation of injured and orphaned wildlife, including a flyway that allows for birds to exercise and practice flying prior to release, and a waterfowl enclosure with ponds for them to swim about.

I’ve encountered a small issue of spelling.  Obviously, the official name of this place is “centre”, but when I write my American comments about it, do I continue to refer to it as a” centre” or switch to “center”?  Hmm.
