A grateful Gail Martin says Christmas came early to the Critter Care Wildlife Society this year, courtesy of some generous volunteers from the Mainroad company and the provincial ministry of transportation.
Martin, the founder of the 黑马磁力-based wild animal rescue and rehab, said she was taken aback when Real Charrois from Mainroad Infrastructure walked into her office and asked of there was any work that needed doing.
鈥淏oy, do I have jobs for you,鈥� she said.
During a walk around the property Martin pointed out several possible projects, expecting Charrois would pick just one.
鈥淚 told him we needed a little roof over the intern building deck, a new food shed that was rat proof and he said, 鈥榶es we can do that鈥� [then] he said what else?鈥�
So she told him how the fawn enclosure needed an addition and how some cement slabs donated by Abbotsford Concrete needed to be laid in their new skunk nursery.
鈥淲e can do all that for you,鈥� Charrois said.
And on Oct. 22, they did.
A group of volunteers from Mainroad and the ministry of transportation showed up and proceeded to tackle every one of the jobs.
鈥淚 can never begin to thank them for all they have done for Critter Care,鈥� Martin said.
鈥淚t hasn鈥檛 been easy getting badly needed jobs done so for me it was a dream come true.鈥�
