Turtle Pond Wildlife Centre is a small wildlife rehabilitation centre located in Val Caron, Ontario, (Greater Sudbury, Canada). It was founded in 2017 by Gloria Morissette, and is a registered charity. All species of wildlife are accommodated whenever possible, and transport is arranged to other wildlife rehabilitation facilities in Ontario if it is in the best interest of the patient.

​

In 2020, Turtle Pond unexpectedly became the sole authorized wildlife rehabilitation centre serving roughly 130,000 square kilometres of Northern Ontario. We have cared for animals from as far away as Kenora, Timmins, Manitoulin Island, Killarney and North Bay.

​

Our intake of wildlife quadrupled in 2020 and continues to rise. So far in 2024, we have already admitted over 900 animals. Since each animal has its own special needs for diet, housing, and treatment, the costs add up.

​

In recent years, Canada's wildlife has seen so many challenges - from climate change, habitat loss, and pollution - that wildlife rehabilitation grows increasingly important. Those who come across orphaned, injured, or ill wild animals find it to be an immense relief to bring animals to us, knowing that we will do all that we can to help them recover and live their wild lives again. Together, we can give our wildlife a second chance at a wild life.
