The Assiniboine Park Zoo has become one of only five Canadian zoos to be accredited by the Association of Zoos & Aquariums.
“Only zoos and aquariums that meet the highest standards are accredited by the Association of Zoos and Aquariums,” said AZA president and CEO Jim Maddy in a news release. “The community should take great pride in knowing that Assiniboine Park Zoo is a proven leader in the care and conservation of wildlife, and in inspiring people to take action to protect the natural world.”
The accreditation process includes an on-site inspection by a team of trained zoo and aquarium professionals, and the zoo was graded in areas such as animal care, veterinary programs, conservation, education, and safety.
