The Creston Valley Wildlife Management Area 7,000 ha. (17,000-acres), is here both for environment and people – maintaining biodiversity, mitigating wetland losses elsewhere, educating young people, promoting wise use of natural areas, securing habitats for research, providing outdoor experiences for elderly, handicapped, and city-bound users. The CVWMA is an extremely important reservoir of biological diversity. The wetland is noted for 301 bird species, 57 mammal species, 17 species of fish, 6 reptiles species and 6 amphibians species, thousands of invertebrate species, and several hundred species of plants. Because the site is so significant, in 1994 it was designated an internationally significant wetland (Ramsar Site). The Wildlife Centre, open May to October, offers visitors a variety of wildlife activities and discovery programs and guided canoe and walking tours.

Back in 1999, a group of volunteers within the community wanted to create a fundraiser to raise funds that would be designated to purchasing an accessible taxi van, so that individuals with mobility impairments in the Town of Richmond Hill would have more access to transit through the Richmond Hill Transit system. At that time, each municipality in York Region ran their own transit system. There was a similar organization that was already incorporated in the Town of Markham, and their example was helpful with a track record of raising funds on an annual basis to purchase wheelchair accessible vans for transit in the Town of Markham. From that point, the idea was formed to create a Richmond Hill Mobility and Accessibility Foundation. The founders of this foundation wanted to raise funds so that individuals could move more freely in the Town of Richmond Hill via the transit services.
