Standards of Care
Canada's Accredited Zoos and Aquariums (CAZA) logo displayed at our zoo signifies excellence in animal care and management and a commitment to conservation and education.
Standards
You can be confident that we have met or exceeded rigorous standards of CAZA and that we continue to satisfy periodic reviews and site inspections carried out by zoological experts in areas of operations, animal management and veterinary medicine. CAZA is recognized by all levels of government in Canada, and is the standard in animal care and safety.
Requirements
In order to participate in animal loan or exchange programs, including the Species Survival Plan (SSP), facilities must be recognized as CAZA facilities.
Best practices
Standards in animal care continue to evolve and develop as networks of accredited facilities learn more and share research. We are proud to be part of a wider network of industry leaders with a shared passion for animal welfare.
