Welcome to the official website of the British Columbia Waterfowl Society | |||
|
The British Columbia Waterfowl Society is a private non-profit conservation organization that was formed in 1961 to conserve and promote waterfowl and wetlands in British Columbia. For the past 40 years, the Society's focus has been the stewardship of the George C. Reifel Migratory Bird Sanctuary which is located on Westham Island, just outside of the City of Vancouver, British Columbia. The Society manages public use of the Sanctuary, provides interpretive programs for groups of all ages, and contributes to research and programs of like-minded waterfowl and conservation groups in the community. These activities are financed primarily with memberships, entrance fees, merchandise sales, charitable donations and bequests. The Society has approximately 2000 members, and a volunteer Board of Directors is elected annually to represent the founding organizations and the local community interests. People planning promotional activities involving the Sanctuary are asked to verify suitability and details with the Society Office at 604-946-6980. |
