Ontario’s large open spaces, forest and wilderness tracks and endless lakes, rivers and shorelines are home to a host of magnificent wildlife species. Large mammals like moose and bear, predators such as wolf and fox, otters, mink, weasels and beaver, and waterfowl, birds of prey and songbirds abound.
We’re also home to a variety of sanctuaries, preserves and nature parks dedicated to the education, protection and rehabilitation of these precious creatures.
Elk, Moose and Bison at Cedar Meadows Wilderness Park, Timmins, northeastern Ontario
One of northern Ontario’s finest resorts features an expansive wilderness park that’s home to moose, deer, elk, bison and mountain goats. Join the daily wilderness tours at 3pm (year-round) and 7pm (summer only) to get up close and personal with these majestic creatures from a tractor-drawn wagon. You may even get the chance to hand feed some of the animals.
Polar Bears at the Canadian Polar Bear Habitat, Cochrane, north of Timmins

The unique research, rescue and conservation station hosts four polar bears in an over 24 acre setting of subarctic and boreal landscape, with a 10-acre lake.
