Education - Conservation - Preservation
We believe that an understanding of the plight of indigenous, exotic and endangered species is critical to the future survival of life on earth. The greater the knowlege we have of the creatures we share the land with, the greater chance we have of preserving our way of life. Part of this enormous undertaking is the education of our children to understand and respect the value of the creatures around us. For many of the animals here, Bear Creek was the last resort prior to euthanasia.


Bear Creek Exotic Wildlife Sanctuary was founded in 1989. We are located on the
10th Line of Essa Township just west of Barrie, Ontario.

Bear Creek Exotic Wildlife Sanctuary is
NOT A ZOO!

We are a volunteer driven non-profit organization dedicated to the survival of rare and endangered species. We are also involved in humane wildlife rescue and rehabilitation of animals involved in public concerns, and as always, we provide a safe haven for unwanted, abused and injured exotic and zoo surplus animals. We are family and volunteer run. At Bear Creek we house over 100 animals, some of which are the most beautiful and most rare species from around the world.
We do not sell animals
.
