A few days ago, our Recruitment and Admissions Coordinator, Sam Shaw, went out on an adventure! The put out a help request to transport some orphaned ducklings (and an injured gull also hitched a ride) to the Atlantic Wildlife Institute in Sackville, NB. 🐥🦆🐦The work they do is a great representation of one of the career pathways for our program, a wildlife technician.
