Parkbus connects city dwellers with nature through affordable transportation options. Founded in 2010, we operate bus services to National and Provincial Parks from major cities across Canada. We also operate community nature and outdoor programs such as ActiveDays and NatureLink. In British Columbia, Parkbus programs are run by BEST, a non-profit charitable organization with a long history promoting sustainable transportation. In the rest of Canada, our programs are run by Transportation Options, an Ontario-based non-profit organization dedicated to fostering sustainable tourism and transportation.
The Vancouver Botanical Gardens Association (VBGA) is a charitable not-for-profit, incorporated under the BC Societies Act.
Our mission is to engage people of all ages and walks of life in the importance of biodiversity to our lives, and to foster a lifelong love of plants and gardens by virtue of their participation in our programs and services.
Rabbitats is a volunteer-run organization that survives off the donations of wonderful people like you. Every cent we receive goes towards rescuing feral and abandoned rabbits: paying for veterinary care, finding good homes, and building sanctuaries.
Large numbers of abandoned domestic rabbits can be safely, securely and happily housed in indoor or outdoor ‘rabbitats’ built in conjunction with animal shelters, pet rescues, institutions, ‘green’ businesses or on private land under the care of responsible citizens.
Cities contend with abandoned pets and their feral offspring while rural areas deal with unscrupulous breeders who routinely release their unwanted stock. The non-native domestic rabbits soon become a problem for municipalities, businesses and neighbourhoods forced to deal with environmentally destructive natural behaviour like chewing and burrowing.
It’s a tragedy for the loose bunnies as they will most likely be killed by predators, parasites, sport hunters or trappers hired for ‘pest control’.
Rabbitats can help build affordable colony housing for sterilized rabbits and educate new rabbit guardians on low maintenance and sustainable care. Controlled rabbit populations can replace feral colonies.
Wildcoast Ecological Society is a not-for-profit group whose aim is to conduct research, environmental restoration and stewardship activities for degraded ecosystems on the south coast of British Columbia. We strive to fulfill this aim by developing and implementing local restoration projects, involving community members in restoration activities, and by supporting community stewardship projects that protect local ecologically sensitive species and the critical habitats in which they live.

The Regional Animal Protection Society – RAPS – is an independent, non-profit organization serving animals and their people. We are, very proudly, a no-kill animal care agency. We independently operate one of North America’s largest cat sanctuaries, the RAPS Cat Sanctuary - a loving forever home to 400 cats. In addition, our RAPS Adoption Centre receives cats and kittens as owner-surrenders, from other rescue agencies & shelters and feral cats who have been trapped. These cats and kittens are available for adoption. The not-for-profit RAPS Animal Hospital opened in February 2018. The RAPS Animal Hospital is a full-service, community-supported veterinary hospital, owned and operated by the Regional Animal Protection Society. In addition, RAPS operates two RAPS Thrift Stores in Richmond as well as one in New Westminster. All revenue from the thrift stores is reinvested to help save and improve the lives of animals and their people in our community.
We are proud to have served the animals and people of this city and region for over two decades. We could not do what we do if not for the generous contribution of time, skill and caring of our extraordinary volunteers.
At VOKRA, we rescue, heal, then place cats - first in our network of foster homes, then in carefully matched, loving, forever homes. We're a passionate, volunteer-driven charity with extensive cat care experience.
