Today, February 27 is #InternationalPolarDay, an annual day of awareness created by Polar Bears International that coincides with the time period when polar bear moms and cubs are in their dens. This is a particularly vulnerable time for cubs whose survival is critically important to the species.
The Assiniboine Park Zoo planned special activities on the weekend to mark International Polar Bear Day that included polar bear zoo chats, enrichment station, craft station, scavenger hunt, polar bear art silent auction and others.
Proceeds from the art auction and donations support the work of the Assiniboine Park Conservancy’s Polar Bear Rescue & Care Team.
The Zoo is open daily from 9:00 am to 4:00 pm. Please visit assiniboinepark.ca for more information.
