Aspen Valley Wildlife Sanctuary
For a school project, I had the opportunity to create a video on Aspen Valley Wildlife Sanctuary. It's a wonderful charity organization that rehabilitates wildlife to go back into the wild, and permanently houses those that are unable to.
Aspen Valley Wildlife Sanctuary Rosseau Muskoka Spring 2007
This is just one short video of an absolutely beautiful Eurasian Lynx that is the size of a dog and she liked me. The female bear had just woken up from her winter hibernation a few days before. The brother and sister wolves were beautiful and those eyes. Aspen Valley Wildlife Sanctuary has a lion and a great story of helping wild animals, there are other videos on YouTube.

AUDREY TOURNAY: Aspen Valley Wildlife Sanctuary
As a high school teacher, AUDREY TOURNAY was adamant about educating her students on Canadas rich wildlife population - including raccoons, porcupines and skunks. In the years since retiring, her dedication to animals evolved into the Aspen Valley Wildlife Sanctuary. Since 1972, the centre has housed and rehabilitated thousands of orphaned and injured animals every year, from black bears to beavers to squirrels. They also house the largest Black Bear Rehabilitation facility in the world. Tournay spreads a message of compassion and wildlife preservation and has dedicated her life to providing refuge for animals in need.

Ella the Moose, at Aspen Valley Wildlife Sanctuary, Part 2
Come along for a tour with me at the Aspen Valley Wildlife Sanctuary in Muskoka and meet Ella the moose! She's so sweet. The animals at Aspen Valley are so lucky to have such great people taking care of them, and sadly some of them have not had an easy start to life, but now they have a good life.

Ricky the Porcupine at Aspen Valley Wildlife Sanctuary
This is my interview with Sarah as she showed me the babies at the Aspen Valley Wildlife Sanctuary. Since this interview, Ricky the 2 year old Porcupine has been soft released. This means he’s been released on the sanctuary’s property so if he needs to come back he will. But if he’s a big brave porcupine he’ll go out and start his life in the wild. Kind of like kids going off to college lol. Sanctuaries are licensed and they take in animals that need help. Aspen Valley is also a rehabilitation Center as most of the orphaned animals they take in are put back into the wild if they are strong and healthy enough. That’s a good thing. Wild animals are not pets. Watch this YouTube and learn more about porcupines ????. I’m not old enough to volunteer yet but some day o hope to be doing more to help the Wildlife I’m lucky enough to be surrounded by. Our eco system depends on keeping all species going

Individuals who work closely with wild animals have seen firsthand how fragile their ecosystems are. In this video, Howard Smith of the Aspen Valley Wildlife Sanctuary wants people to know that feeding and photographing wildlife can have harmful and unintended consequences.
Canadian Lynx: Rufus & Misha
Meet Rufus and Misha, a brother and sister pair of Canadian lynx who arrived at the Performing Animal Welfare Society's (PAWS) Galt, California, sanctuary on June 4, 2012. The pair had previously been living at Storybook Gardens in London, Ontario, Canada.
As part of Storybook Gardens' 2008-2010 business plan the City Council had approved the reduction of the overall size of the zoo component with the eventual goal of closing the zoo operation all together. The only animals that would remain would be the domestics.
Between 2009 and 2011 suitable homes were identified for a number of the animals and more than half of them were transferred to zoos and animal sanctuaries in Ontario, Quebec, and New Brunswick. Throughout the process Storybook staff worked collaboratively with local animal welfare groups to select appropriate new homes. The community group Friends of Captive Animals (FOCA) endorsed Storybook's proposed plan and Zoocheck, an animal welfare charity based in Toronto, was instrumental in the relocation process.
Rufus, Misha and the other remaining animals at Storybook Gardens have a big name to thank for picking up most of their relocation tab. Bob Barker, retired host of The Price is Right, has paid much of the estimated $120,000 it has taken to place remaining animals in new homes, said officials at Zoocheck.
Of the animals remaining in 2012, four harbor seals went to the St. Louis Zoo, the birds of prey went to Sandy Pines Wildlife Sanctuary in eastern Ontario, two beavers and an otter moved to Aspen Valley Wildlife Sanctuary near Rousseau, Ontario, and the two lynx came to PAWS.
WELCOME RUFUS AND MISHA! Thank you to Bob Barker and Storybook Gardens.

Better Black Bear Education Needed: Advocate
More than a week after a bear was shot dead in Newmarket, we still don't know why it took so long for the Ministry of Natural Resources to respond. Police shot the bear out of concern for public safety, sparking criticism from residents and opposition members at Queen's Park. We speak to one of the few people authorized to tranquilize bears in the province, Mike McIntosh with the Bear With Us Sanctuary near Huntsville.
