Medicine River Wildlife Centre close to reopening with addition of new hospital
For four long years, the doors of the Medicine River Wildlife Centre have been closed to visitors.
Located 45 kilometres west of Innisfail, the animal hospital and education centre has been working toward a renovation to substantially upgrade the ways staff treat sick and injured animals.
Thanks to tremendous community support, Medicine River should soon be able to welcome back the public.
Last week, pre-cast concrete walls arrived at long last, which will provide a 3,500 sq. ft. haven for animals in need. The remaining piece is the roof, which the centre is hopeful it can secure funding for next month through a provincial grant. If successful, the facility will re-open this summer.
