Transition to Assiniboine Park Conservancy:
Welcome to the new world of the Assiniboine Park Zoo and the Zoological Society of Manitoba!

Why are we emphasizing the words - new world? Well, as the media has so enthusiastically reported over the past 12 months, there has been so many exciting announcements about major and significant improvements to our zoo and the Assiniboine Park overall we are quite literally on our way to a new world-class Zoo!
As we have reported over the past number of years, the excitement of the transition of the Zoological Society of Manitoba into the new Assiniboine Park Conservancy is happening.  With that comes the realization of the development of a master plan for the entire park including the Assiniboine Park Zoo.

In fact, under the leadership of the Board of the Assiniboine Park Conservancy and in cooperation with the Zoological Society of Manitoba in the last year over $30,000,000 has been raised for our Zoo and is now being put towards:
Arctic Exhibit -  world-class polar bear habitat and observation exhibit
International Polar Bear Conservation Centre - a unique polar bear conservation and research facility
Steller's Sea Eagle Enclosure - one of the world's largest exhibit for one of the world's largest eagles
Lion Enclosure - we are bringing lions to our Zoo to provide our visitors the opportunity be upfront and close to the King of the Jungle

This is just the beginning! With the transition of the role of the Zoological Society of Manitoba into the Assiniboine Park Conservancy in 2010, our Zoo is on course to becoming the jewel of Manitoba and North America once again!
Furthermore, our members will now have not only the benefits the Zoological Society of Manitoba has provided in the past, but will now be a part of the exciting new world of the entire Assiniboine Park!

The Board and Staff of the Zoological Society of Manitoba have been involved in assisting the Assiniboine Park Conservancy Board and management with the planning and transitional activities associated with the Park overall.  Our commitment to the success of the Assiniboine Park Conservancy has been reflected in turn with the exciting opportunity to work with the Assiniboine Park Conservancy in planning how the Assiniboine Park Zoo will be shaped through significant capital investment into the future.
The time has now arrived for our Zoo!  All of these significant improvements and announcements of capital for our Zoo have only occurred due to the creation of the Assiniboine Park Conservancy which includes the plan for the Zoological Society of Manitoba to transition all our operations and assets into the Assiniboine Park Conservancy in 2010.

The Board of Directors of the Zoological Society of Manitoba have worked in cooperation with the City of Winnipeg and the Assiniboine Park Conservancy Board and Management to ensure this transition occurs in the best interest of our Zoo, Members and Staff.  We are confident that the future of our zoo has never been brighter in its 100+ year history.
 
On behalf of the Board of Directors, I would like to personally thank:
All of our Society Staff and the Assiniboine Zoo management and staff, Event volunteers, Assiniboine Park Conservancy Board and Management, Assiniboine Park non-profit partners, City of Winnipeg, City Council, and most importantly our Members for their incredible commitment and our collective goal in2010 and onward as we help the Assiniboine Park Conservancy in its success in making the Assiniboine Park Zoo achieve its full potential into the future.

Mike Stevens, President
Zoological Society of Manitoba

Membership Benefits and Information...

Do you like animals? When was the last time you visited the zoo? If you are an Assiniboine Park Zoo member you already know that you can visit the Zoo 365 days a year. If you are not a zoo member, then what are you waiting for? 

How many times have you found yourself on a weekend or day off with a houseful of energetic kids and/or adults who all want to do something but due to limited funds or not being able to find one thing in common that they all would enjoy?  Family outings can be very costly. If only there was a place where you could pay once and go as often as you like?  Well, there is!  Really, you could pay just once and visit the Zoo each and every day if you wanted.

The Assiniboine Park Zoo is proud to have over 10,000 zoo members who enjoy visiting the zoo every chance they get for one very low price. 

Did you know that a family membership for two adults and up to five children living in the same household is only $84.00 taxes included? That is less than .25 cents a day. WOW!

As an Assiniboine Park Zoo member, not only can you take the family for as many visits to the Zoo in a year as you can fit in, but you also get great discounts on purchases at the Animal Tracks Café and Zoo Gift Shop. Kids will love the experience of attending our Spring and/or Summer Zoo Camp.  And, as a member you also get a great discount on Zoo camp registration.  Perhaps one of the most exciting aspects of being a zoo member aside from watching the animals and keeping tabs on their crazy antics, new zoo babies and arrivals of new animals throughout the year, is receiving your complimentary Safeway Boo at the Zoo tickets in September before they even go on sale to the public! 

Safeway Boo at the Zoo is our largest and most amazingly fun family, hair- raising fundraising event held in October each year. Our members love to attend Boo and take part in all the spooktacular rides and interactive and specially themed walk-throughs..

So, next time the family is looking for something to do – think ZOO!  Visit us at the Zoo Gift shop or call Tricialynn, at 927 6029 to discuss becoming an Assiniboine Park Zoo member.  It’s a zooriffic way to spend time with your family and enjoy your favorite animals.

See you at the Zoo!
