The Wildcard 2011 event is being organized for the benefit of Le Nichoir Wild Bird Rehabilitation Centre.

The Wildcard is ...

• An event taking place Saturday November 19th at Collège Sainte-Anne in Lachine, QC.

• A sale of 5” by 7” size unframed original art, signed on the reverse and sold for $65 (the average cost to rehabilitate and release one bird back into the wild).

• A fun, fast paced sale. The art is previewed but the buyer cannot see the artist’s signature until the purchase is complete and the card is handed to them.

• Financially supporting Le Nichoir because the $65 selling price of each work goes directly to Le Nichoir. (Sponsorships and event ticket sales ensure there are no overhead costs.)

Our first Wildcard event held in 2010 was supported by 225 Canadian and international artists who donated over 550 Wildcards. The sale of these Wildcards was a roaring success and so we are organizing Wildcard 2011. With your help the second annual Wildcard event will move Le Nichoir another step closer to building a new Conservation Centre.

Le Nichoir is ...

• A unique Canadian organization because of the number of native birds successfully rehabilitated and released back into the wild.

• The largest rehabilitation centre for songbirds in Canada.

• Located on land owned by the Nature Conservancy of Canada in the Clarke Sydenham Nature Reserve in Hudson, Quebec.

• Part of an international network of conservation and rehabilitation organizations including the International Wildlife Rehabilitation Council and the National Wildlife Rehabilitators Association.

• Seventeen years of compassionate and professional wild bird rehabilitation, public education and promotion of avian research.

• Undertaking construction of a new Conservation Centre to:

  • Meet increasing demand for wild bird rehabilitation programs
  • Increase educational activities
  • Attract more students and researchers.

• Visit the website to learn more.

Our Supporters ...

This project would not be possible without the generous support of the following companies who have donated their products, services or expertise to this project.

	I am very happy to support Le Nichoir’s conservation and rehabilitation efforts for wild birds. This organization’s volunteers and staff work diligently to care for the wild birds that come to their doorstep. Yet they also dedicate time and effort to educate our youth on the importance of conservation. Le Nichoir’s activities thus contribute to building a culture of intergenerational environmental awareness and respect, which is critical to building a sustainable society.
