1984-1988
Wildlife Rehabilitation was a relatively new concept in Alberta and although MRWC had many supporters, there were others who questioned it, criticized the efforts, and some were outright against it. Fundraising was exceedingly difficult. Very few people wanted to give to something they didn’t understand. The facility, vehicle, labour and many supplies came from Carol and her family. The children’s playroom became an intensive care room and the barn served as a flight area.
1989-1992
In 1989 a Banff Park Warden offered to sell the current home quarter to MRWC for $50,000. With the help of Morris Flewwelling, three co-signers were found who helped secure a $15,000 loan as a down payment. The landowner carried the balance as a mortgage and the Centre began to build a permanent facility.
1993-1999
A four section, large raptor cage was built with donated labour and materials for recovering birds of prey. This cage took some months to build as it utilized with mostly donated time and labour.
2000-2002
MRWC entered a dark time in its growth when the bank’s head office began a foreclosure. Daily phone calls continually pressured the Centre staff for the money.
