Meet Nicole, one of the Animal Care Technicians at the Wilder Institute’s Calgary Zoo. 🫶 She’s been part of the Animal Care, Health & Welfare team for 13 years and has recently been working in the Wild Canada zone where she gets to work with polar bears, gray wolves, and much more. We asked her about a favourite memory from her career, and she told us about being part of the polar bear introductions that took place earlier this year. 🐻‍❄️

Nicole, thanks for all that you do. Happy #NationalZookeeperWeek! 💓
