Salthaven West is a charitable wildlife rehabilitation and education centre located in Regina that provides care to sick, injured, displaced, and orphaned wildlife throughout southern Saskatchewan. Our goals are twofold: 1) to rehabilitate and release healthy wildlife back into their natural environments, and 2) to educate communities on the importance of living harmoniously with wildlife and ways to do so.

 



Better Bus Youth: We are asking the City of Regina to make bus fares free for students and youth 18 years old and under. This is a way to make public transit more accessible for high school students, as well as help to create a cleaner environment in our city.
