The Calgary Zoological Society was officially founded in 1929. Key to the zoo’s mission is generating affection for the amazing animals that call the zoo home, and inspiring people to care about their wild relatives. Our education team delivers more than 800 school programs to 21,000 students each year focusing on topics ranging from water conservation to saving endangered species. The ultimate goal is to motivate the next generation to take action. The Calgary Zoo’s Centre for Conservation Research conducts innovative research and participates in reintroduction programs that help secure the future of many Canadian endangered species. In addition, conservation initiatives throughout the world are identified and supported through the zoo’s Conservation Outreach. Over the past five years, more than 25 projects were supported in 20 countries and most involve community-based initiatives – helping local people to participate in conservation efforts in their own backyard.

The Calgary Zoo is a conservation leader whose mission is to take and inspire action to sustain wildlife and wild places.

              A quiet observer, Dinny has witnessed the Calgary skyline develop, the river shift and the world around him change and grow. But the passage of time, weather and destructive flood waters of 2013 have not been kind to him - Dinny needs a makeover! 

Generations of families have gathered under his watchful gaze and has been included in many family photos and  of climbing up his tail are a part  or groups gathering on the lawn underneath him for picnics. 

Please join us in giving him some much-deserved love.

EXTINCT IS FOREVER!
