DO YOU VISIT RIVERVIEW PARK & ZOO?
IS THE ZOO IMPORTANT TO YOU?
Zoo Animal Healthcare Centre Fundraising Campaign
WE NEED YOUR HELP!
Since its inception in the 1930's the Riverview Park and Zoo has greatly expanded in space, recreational, and educational opportunities for the public and in the size and diversity of its animal collection. This is thanks to the generous gifts of individuals, families, and community groups.
Now, we are appealing to this wonderful tradition of giving to meet the needs of today. Our facility is free of charge for the enjoyment of any and all Peterborough and area citizens. The Zoo and its animal residents contribute so much to our community. Now, the animals need our help.
WHY IS A ZOO ANIMAL HEALTHCARE CENTRE NEEDED?
The Zoo’s continued accreditation with the Canadian Association of Zoos and Aquariums depends upon construction of this facility. This is because zoo animals require a special space to receive healthcare: medical treatment, surgical procedures, and quarantine facilities. Currently the Riverview Zoo staff have been forced to improvise in make-shift ways that cannot adequately meet these needs.

WHAT WILL THE ZOO ANIMAL HEALTHCARE CENTRE PROVIDE?
The building will be about 1200 sq. ft., together with a 200 sq. ft. fenced area to allow the animals to be moved outdoors. Included will be a staff/ veterinarian shower and change room, two large animal holding pens, kennels for smaller animals, and a treatment room for medical and surgical procedures. The proposed Centre will provide a well-equipped animal treatment and quarantine facility that both supports high-quality animal healthcare and meets the requirements of the zookeepers and vets.
DONOR RECOGNITION
Building the Zoo Animal Healthcare Centre is expected to cost $500,000. The Campaign’s goal for the public part of the Campaign is to raise $250,000 from the community that is so well-served by the Park and Zoo.
