Dear (Name): 

Congratulations on your election to the House of Commons, we wish every success and look forward to working with you going forward. 

Canada’s Accredited Zoos and Aquariums (CAZA) is the voice of 28 Canadian accredited facilities that hold themselves to the highest standards of animal care. Each year Canada’s 28 accredited zoos and aquariums welcome 12 million visitors each year, our accreditation program sets us apart. 

Connecting people with nature, our member facilities are mission focused entities to educate visitors and supporters alike raising awareness on protecting species, conservation, providing safe and healthy environment for animals in the care of humans. 

The pandemic has been difficult on all of us, CAZA member facilities have been no different. Federal pandemic assistance programs have been a vital lifeline, at no point during this pandemic has the care for animals been compromised. 

We look forward to working with you in the months ahead. When time permits, we will request to meet to discuss more about CAZA and important policy issues. 

Sincerely, 

Jim Facette
