Grant, Contribution or Other Financial Benefit
- Request funding for the Arctic Shores Capital Campaign to support the following activities: develop relationships with Inuit/northerners, to foster awareness of the northern cultures thus engendering greater understanding of north: south and south: north; facilitate the delivery of knowledge, awareness and programs by profiling the Inuit culture in the South and, in so doing, promoting northern arts and culture; interpret for Canadians, government actions in the North relating to sovereignty; disseminate information about resource/energy development in the North; inform Canadians about northern species and habitat.
- Request funding to support capital and research activities for the Zoo’s Animal Health Centre. Based on the premise that all major catastrophic disease activity has come from the activities of humans in close proximity to animals (i.e. avian flu, mad cow disease), it is clear that the Zoo may be an important source of fauna information and non-invasive research. The Zoo's Animal Health Centre may play an important role in understanding the relationship between humans and animals. Research is essential.
- Request funding to support the Zoo’s Husky Energy Endangered Species Reintroduction Program. Representatives of the Zoo will be in discussion with federal departments to raise awareness and/or grow programming and research that will manifest as desirable outcomes for wildlife and habitat for creatures in Canada and beyond.
- Request support and finances for both the capital and educational elements of our ENMAX Conservatory Project. The facility and its displays are intended to give the visitor the tools to take personal steps to become a steward of our environment.
- Seek funding and support from Ministry of Tourism in order to maintain the highest standards, create excellent facilities, provide educational opportunities and showcase important habitats in Canada and other parts of the world to continue to lead and contribute to the industry of tourism.
- Seek funding support to share knowledge and alternative energy solutions with Zoo visitors on site and virtually. The Zoo proposes to display and demonstrate Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Green Building Rating System facilities. It will use environmentally friendly products. The Zoo will show how individuals and families can take realistic steps towards environmentally friendly practices.
