Northwood Zoo and Animal Sanctuary
Come out and see our 3 baby grizzly cubs born in Feb 2011. We will be having a naming contest this summer!
Northwood is a Non-Profit Sanctuary Dedicated to providing a clean, safe and loving environment to over 100 exotic animal species. Including Tigers, Lions, Primates, Bears, Wolves, Buffalo, Eagles, Owls and other wonderful creatures.
Here they are provided the care and respect they deserve so that they may live out their lives with dignity. We have a responsibility to provide for them the best life possible. Hopefully, despite some of their respective backgrounds, they can learn to trust people again.
It is our sincere hope that through public awareness and education we can all learn to share our world with the many diverse species on it, and develop a much better understanding of and kinder treatment towards our animal friends.
Northwood is fully licensed by the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources. Northwood also provides Educational tours for Public Schools, Senior Citizen Groups and Special Needs Groups, to name a few. With Education being one of our main goals, we pride ourselves in sharing our experience and knowledge not only with the general public, but also with students involved in Work / Education Placements through the Oshawa business school and Durham College as well as Secondary School Co-op Placements. We are also participants in the Ontario Disability Support Program, Scugog & Durham Region Tourism, various community events and also charitable organizations such as The Children's Wish Foundation.
Northwood also provides Humane Capture and relocation of nuisance wildlife as well as Humane Seizure of wildlife in unlicensed and inhumane conditions for the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources.
