About Story Book Farm Primate Sanctuary
Story Book Farm Primate Sanctuary is Canada’s only monkey sanctuary verified by the Global Federation of Animal Sanctuaries (GFAS). We provide lifelong refuge for primates retiring from biomedical research, zoos, universities, pet stores, and private homes.
At Story Book Farm, we believe all animals have inherent rights—the right to live free from fear, pain, and exploitation. And we believe that each of us can make a difference, one being at a time. Today, our sanctuary is home to 18 monkeys and 6 lemurs, each arriving with a unique history—many marked by trauma, neglect, or hardship. Here, they find peace, healing, and the chance to rediscover joy through socialization and the freedom to form natural relationships.
Our work is made possible through the generosity of private donors and the dedication of volunteers, whose combined experience in primate care and husbandry exceeds 100 years. Every supporter plays a vital role in giving our residents the lives they deserve.
Our Mission
Story Book Farm is a place of safety, healing, and recovery. We offer freedom from fear and restore dignity to primates who have endured exploitation.
