Our first Annual General Meeting by Zoom and the presentation by Elizabeth Purdon that followed were great successes, so we're keeping it up!

Join us on Wednesday, October 28th at 7:00 pm for another Monthly Zoom Meeting, with club activity updates followed by a special presentation on the work of the BCSPCA Wild Animal Rehabilitation Centre (Wild ARC) by Diane Dakers.

The BCSPCA Wild Animal Rehabilitation Centre (Wild ARC), located in Metchosin, cares for injured, sick, distressed, and orphaned wildlife. Last year, the centre treated about 3,000 birds and animals from all over the South Island region. Wild ARC’s goal is to rehabilitate wildlife and return recovered animals to their natural habitats.

In her presentation, Diane Dakers will talk about Wild ARC’s work, the people who care for the animals, and how humans can reduce their impact on wildlife and better co-exist with nature.

Diane has volunteered with Wild ARC as an adult educator and animal care volunteer since 2016. Diane began her career as a print and broadcast journalist in 1991. She specialized in arts reporting (focusing on the news, political and business aspects of Canadian culture) and science journalism. In Victoria, she worked as an arts reporter/ reviewer for the Times Colonist, and as an on-air host, reporter, producer, editor and writer for CHEK-TV and The New VI (now CTV Vancouver Island). In 2012, Diane earned a Master of Journalism degree from Carleton University, adding to her Bachelor of Science degree (physical sciences) from the University of Guelph and Journalism Diploma from Grant MacEwan University in Edmonton.
