The
George C. Reifel Migratory Bird Sanctuary is located on
Westham Island in Delta, British Columbia. It receives
over 60,000 visitors annually and is managed by the British
Columbia Waterfowl Society.
The operation of the Sanctuary is supported
financially through contributions of individuals
and corporations, as well as gift shop revenue,
memberships and gate entrance fees.
If considering a donation or bequest, contact
the British Columbia Waterfowl Society at the Sanctuary office
(604-946-6980) for important information such as
the charitable registration number, information on tax receipts,
recognition, and suggested wording for bequests.
All contributions are appreciated.
Tax receipts are automatically issued for donations over
$10.00. The Society is a registered non-profit charitable
organization, and copies of annual audits are made available
upon request.
Taxidermy items are sometimes donated. This
generosity is greatly appreciated. However, there is already
an extensive on-site collection of birds (the Leo Malfet
Collection), and the Society reserves the right to judge
whether additional donated materials become part of any permanent
displays.
Donated specimens need to include
a written description, the name and address of the donor
and a brief history of the specimen (if known).
We ask also that the owner state his or her wishes should
the Sanctuary not be able to make effective use of the donation. |
A Special Thanks
to 2007 Contributors

Funding support from
HSBC Bank Canada continues to help make the Sanctuary
more accessibe to schools with limited resources in the
Vancouver area. In 2007, the grant to the BCWS provided
over 1400 students with free field trips to the Sanctuary
to learn about migratory birds and wildlife conservation.
