Enjoy the Sanctuary, Leave only Your Footprints, Take Only Your Memories

The George C. Reifel Migratory Bird Sanctuary is one of 92 protected areas across Canada termed bird sanctuaries by the government of Canada. These areas are protected by law for migratory birds and it is illegal to harm birds, their nests or their habitats. Some general rules and admission fees apply to all visitors (see Visitor Info page).

Fall Reminders

   Sanctuary News (Oct. 27th, 2008)

Sanctuary trails are for walking only (not for cycling).

People wishing to cycle from Ladner to the Sanctuary parking lot are welcome to park bikes in racks near the entrance while they visit.

Please do not break off branches or eat any parts of plants during your visit. Wildlife rely upon the many trees and berries for food and shelter over the winter months. Note: Some berries and mushrooms are poisonous to people.

This is a non-smoking area.

Pets are not allowed into the Sanctuary, (so please leave them at home).

Note: Please respect private property and do not trespass onto privately-owned farms or dykes on Westham Island near the Sanctuary. These areas are not accessible to the public ( by vehicle, by foot or by bike). Thank you.

  

At least 30,000 snow geese are now feeding and resting on the farm fields and marshes of the Sanctuary and surrounding habitats of the Fraser delta.

The Sanctuary is proud to support the Wild Birds Exhibit featuring carvings by Ted Yesaki and photographs by Roy Hamaguchi. It is showing at the Japanese Canadian (Nikkei) National Museum in Burnaby from October 2nd to December 24th 2008. (more details).
