How long have they been open? In 1929. What need/want do they provide a solution to? Support for the Calgary Zoo can come in many forms. Volunteerism is a very important part of the daily workings of the Zoo. What “experience” to they provide? We have over 650 volunteers. The Calgary Zoo has Calgarians and Southern Albertans involved in our volunteer programs from 14 to 88 years of age. If you are between 14 and 17 years old, please refer to the KidzKonnect Program. If you are over 18, please refer to the main volunteer application and volunteer opportunities. Who do they compete with? Calgary Zoo offers a variety of programs and events to visitors to help them experience the diverse life on Planet Earth. The zoo is open every day of the year except for December 25 and the day of the zoo’s annual fundraising event, Zoogala. Check the zoo website for the date of Zoogala. Visitors to Calgary Zoo can meet hundreds of animals and enjoy a stroll through the zoo’s botanical gardens. Special events include an Earth Day celebration, brunch buffets on Mother’s Day and Father’s Day, Boo at the Zoo in October, and the twinkling Zoo lights in December. What is their competitive edge?
