Toronto Wildlife Centre (TWC) offers many unique programs and services to wildlife and the community. Our programs help wildlife in need, educate the community on wildlife-related issues, and promote peaceful co-existence with our wild neighbours. Since opening in 1993, TWC has helped hundreds of thousands of people, and admitted over 60,000 sick, injured and orphaned wild animals for care.

TWC helps people and wildlife in the following ways:

Wildlife Education & Outreach –  TWC provides unique educational resources for tens of  thousands of members of the public annually via the TWC Wildlife Hotline, literature, online presence, the media, and presentations.

This program is made possible by Lead Sponsor Jamieson Laboratories. TWC is the only wildlife centre in Ontario providing emergency response and treatment to wild animals affected by oil spills.
