Wild Canada opens to the public with a grand opening on Dec. 1 at 11 a.m., but members got a sneak peek at the new space on Thursday.
“I think its amazing Calgary Zoo put in the time and effort to give the polar bears the exhibit they so deserve,” said Amy Robar who was visiting with her toddler Felix.
The area is home to the zoo's newest members, male polar bears Baffin and Siku, who were both orphaned as cubs near Churchill, MB then lived in Winnipeg's Assiniboine Zoo before moving to Calgary earlier this year.
“We’re taking the bears that aren’t going to survive in the wild and caring for them in captivity. Then we get to message stuff (to the public) about why they’re here… which is climate, which is human-bear conflict,” said Colleen Baird, Director or Animal Care Health & Welfare.
