HISTORY LISA'S STORY
 

Lisa Tretiak, a founding member of the Prairie Wildlife Rehabilitation Centre (“PWRC”), started her career in wildlife rehabilitation in 1994. She worked summers at a wildlife rehabilitation facility, answering phones and giving medical attention to wildlife patients. In 1998, Lisa graduated with a Bachelor of Science Degree with a major in Zoology from the University of Manitoba. She gained permanent employment in the wildlife rehabilitation field as a rehab supervisor, and later moved into the position of Rehabilitation Director.
 

Lisa decided to start up the PWRC with the intent of improving the care of Manitoba’s injured and orphaned wildlife. In spring 2008, Lisa became the first Manitoban, and only the fourth person in Canada, to be a Certified Wildlife Rehabilitator (CWR) through the International Wildlife Rehabilitation Council.

PWRC is a non-profit charity and is currently looking for a permanent site to create its state-of-the-art wildlife rehabilitation hospital and training facility. PWRC opened in the spring of 2008 with a limited capacity to take in a small number of animals. Keep checking in to see us grow.
