Description

Compliance with the Alberta zoo standards ensure that facilities requiring an Alberta zoo permit meet acceptable standards that provide a suitable environment for the animal collections and visitors and an environment that emphasizes education. Where off-site display occurs, the standards ensure that there is minimum risk to surrounding free-ranging wildlife, domestic animals and people, and in some cases provide an opportunity for scientific research and animal propagation to support wildlife conservation programs.
