The OHF enjoyed their annual zoo brunch at the Wilder Institute Calgary Zoo and received a lovely tutorial on the plight of its zoo animals during the 2013 Calgary flood, particularly the majestic giraffes and huge hippos. The OHF was fascinated to learn that these wild animals sensed the danger and trusted the animal care teams as they led them to safety. The amazing efforts of everyone in the city to support each other at this difficult time, as well as all the service agencies that assisted in saving the zoo animals was a testament of how Canadians always pull together in a crisis. Well done Wilder Institute Calgary Zoo and special thanks to staffers Morissa and Heather. We love all the amazing work you do! www.owenhartfoundation.org
