Save Helena: Second Period

By 250 News

The money  has been raised to build a new permanent enclosure for Helena the Cougar, now  there’s one more thing,  People  who can do the work.  Here is the  call for help from the Cougar’s organization:

"The Prince George Cougars and the Northern Lights Wildlife Shelter are searching for contractors to build cougar Helena’s enclosure by June 30, 2006, when their temporary permit with the Fish and Wildlife department expires.

With a high demand for contractors in the area, the Northern Lights Wildlife Shelter has been unsuccessful in securing a bid. Bids will be accepted from contractors who have previous experience installing chain link fences and have access to a backhoe.

Once construction of the enclosure has been completed by June 30, the Shelter will receive a permanent permit for Helena and a ribbon cutting ceremony will follow shortly after."

Helena is a cougar  that was sent to the Northern Lights Shelter after the Kelowna wildfires.  She is unable to live in the wild, and new regulations make it clear she must be in a new permanent enclosure by the end of this month, or she will have to be destroyed.  People have responded  to Helena’s story by donating funds  to pay for the enclusure, now the Shelter needs the expertise and muscle to get the job done on time.

If you, or someone you know  can  make a bid to construct Helena’s new enclosure, please contact Angelika Langen, Northern Lights Wildlife Shelter representative, at 250-847-5101.
