Our small shelter is used for cats in transit for medical care, currently rescued or transferred to go out for adoption. The thrift store provides funds to help with medications, food and litter. With approx. 100 foster homes we have to provide the above as well to them. The shelter programme is run strictly by volunteers, no paid staff or fee for accepting an animal into A.R.K. for help. Feral cats are spayed/neutered, rabies shots and transferred to barns where and when possible. The adoption rate is on an average 1,400 per year.

To protect and preserve these boardwalks for future generations the Friends of the Sanctuary will be launching a 2014 "Get on Board" boardwalk rehabilitation project. With one boardwalk closed due to deterioration and the existing Redwing Trail fast nearing deterioration it is vital to have these replaced to accommodate all visitors now and in the future. As The Upper Canada Migratory Bird Sanctuary is so heavily utilized by our surrounding communities and more importantly our school children in these communities it is of great importance we preserve the natural assets of the Sanctuary for future generations. This will be a first of many steps to be taken in the revitalization of the Sanctuary to further increase the popularity of this precious gem on the St. Lawrence River.
