Canadian Wildlife Federation
The Canadian Wildlife Federation (CWF) is Canada’s largest nonprofit organization which is committed to conserving wildlife and habitat in Canada. The CWF is a non-governmental organization, however it remains closely tied with the Government of Canada in order to establish environmental legislation and national awareness for the environment. Being a non-governmental organization, CWF encourages other Canadians to assist the organization by donating their time, money and effort.
The Canadian Wildlife Federation hosts many successful environmental events each year. Over 300,000 members and supporters put on events such as the National Wildlife Week, which always falls on the week of April 10 to celebrate the birthday of Jack Miner, the founder of the Canadian conservation movement. Other events include, Rivers to Oceans Week and a Tall Ships Event held at various times during the year. The organization strives to achieve a brighter future for Canada’s wildlife by working with children and teenagers in order to teach them at a young age how to conserve our wildlife.

“We’re definite in Nova Scotia—’bout things like ships ... and fish, the best in the world.”
—John Rhodes Sturdy, Canadian screenwriter. Richard Rossen. Joyce Cartwright (Ella Raines)
“Russian forests crash down under the axe, billions of trees are dying, the habitations of animals and birds are layed waste, rivers grow shallow and dry up, marvelous landscapes are disappearing forever.... Man is endowed with creativity in order to multiply that which has been given him; he has not created, but destroyed. There are fewer and fewer forests, rivers are drying up, wildlife has become extinct, the climate is ruined, and the earth is becoming ever poorer and uglier.”
—Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860–1904)
“Women realize that we are living in an ungoverned world. At heart we are all pacifists. We should love to talk it over with the war-makers, but they would not understand. Words are so inadequate, and we realize that the hatred must kill itself; so we give our men gladly, unselfishly, proudly, patriotically, since the world chooses to settle its disputes in the old barbarous way.”
—General Federation Of Women’s Clubs (GFWC)
