Organization
WRA Wildlife Rescue Association of BC (WRA) is a charitable non-profit that rehabilitates wildlife affected by human activity and provides education to the public on co-existing with urban wildlife. We have a wildlife hospital on the south shore of Burnaby Lake and treat animals from across the Lower Mainland, the rest of BC, and further afield.
WRA has steadily evolved and adapted since it started in 1979. More recently, we have worked hard to re-align organizational strengths to accomplish greater mission achievement in response to an ever-increasing number of wildlife needing help. This allows WRA to operate one of the busiest wildlife rehabilitation facilities in Canada.
WRA is now looking to recruit board members to contribute to our renewed growth and relevance.
Board of Directors
The role of the WRA Board of Directors is to:
- Provide leadership and oversight of the organization and its activities
- Represent the interests of its members and the broader community
- Ensure broad organizational accountability and transparency
- Facilitate active and meaningful external relationships
Board members are passionate about WRA's mission and are committed to the organizational values of caring, collaboration, creativity and respect. In addition, as WRA embarks on innovative fund development initiatives moving forward, board members will be working collaboratively with senior staff to achieve critical philanthropic goals.
