91Ô­´´'s Critter Care Wildlife Society is about to launch a new short film to give the public a behind-the-scenes view of how they rescue and rehabilitate injured and orphaned wild animals.

Located in Campbell Valley Regional Park, Critter Care takes in animals after being called in by community members, BC Conservation officers, and other wildlife organizations.

Those animals range from black bears and deer down to tiny flying squirrels or baby skunks. They take in otters, raccoons, and many other small mammals as well.

After recovering or growing old enough to survive in the wild, the vast majority of the animals are released again. A few stay at the society for the rest of their lives because their injuries were too severe to ever allow them to be released.

For many years, Critter Care hosted an annual open house as one of its major outreach events. This was the one time of the year when the general public could take a look inside the facility.

However, this year the society has decided to put out a short film instead.

The 25-minute short film will be released on YouTube on Nov. 13.

"Our hope is that viewers from all over can experience this journey with us and feel moved to support Critter Care’s mission in whatever way they can – whether by spreading awareness, volunteering, or donating to help fund the ongoing care of these animals," Critter Care said in a statement.

The movie follows the journey of animals from the moment they're brought in to their release back into their natural habitats, and shows the countless hours volunteers and staff give to each animal.

According to Rod Janz, a spokesperson for Critter Care, there were a few reasons why the annual open house is not being held again, but a big one was parking. The society doesn't have access to the nearby lot that was used for parking in the past, and during the last open house had 3,000 people visit. There simply isn't enough room for that many people to park at the society's facility or along the roads nearby.
