FamilyFunCalgary goes to the Zoo

This year the Calgary Zoo offered Inspire members the opportunity to visit the zoo’s ranch just outside of the city. The Devonian Wildlife Conservation Centre currently houses moose, elk, caribou, deer, whooping cranes, sand hill cranes, Przewalski’s horses and Vancouver Island marmots. This rare tour was a chance to see another side of the Calgary Zoo and in particular learn about some of their breeding programs. We came prepared for the 1/2 acre walk around the ranch with our PiggyBack Rider and made sure to wear good, closed toed shoes.

It will be nice for our regular visits to the Calgary Zoo too. Read more…
