We at PWRC want to provide the best care possible for injured, sick and orphaned wildlife in Manitoba. We also educate the public about wildlife issues through our educational program.
New Property for Wildlife
In 2021, after many years of searching, Prairie Wildlife Rehabilitation Centre took a monumental step towards creating a permanent sanctuary for injured and orphaned wildlife; we bought a 43-acre property! As you can imagine, finding the ideal property to create a centre to aid wildlife was no easy feat; it had to be near Manitoba’s largest city for ease of transportation, semi-secluded with trees to provide a peaceful environment for wildlife to grow and recover, and have enough space to build and expend our centre. Our new Selkirk property features beautiful trees with lovely clearings (which will be ideal for enclosures), and enough space to not only create a place of healing, but also learning spaces.
Now that the property is acquired, it’s now time for planning and building. The next steps towards creating our wildlife rehabilitation centre requires careful planning, surveying, and construction. We are looking for skilled, experienced individuals who can help with planning and building our centre. If you have experience in planning and/or building large-scale projects, we would love to hear from you!
Additionally, we are collecting funds to do necessary land surveys to apply for building permits and determine the best building locations.

Educational Wildlife Presentations
Our education team from the Prairie Wildlife Rehabilitation Centre enters your classroom equipped with supplies, enthusiasm and passion for a jam-packed one hour presentation! These dynamic sessions consist of exciting demonstration, with the help of our Ambassadors, and hands-on activities. Upon completion of the presentation, the classroom will have developed an excitement and awareness for the natural world and their role within it. We are also happy to do presentations at community events, libraries, organizations, birthday parties, and daycares.
