HI Pete and thanks :)
They are $10 each, and shipping varies from $2.30 to $3.45( this amount pays
for up to 5 calendars!,) depending on how many I need to mail. Response has
been very good, we originally ordered only 100 to see how they would do,
we've now printed 350! If anyone is interested, please email me at the below
address and I can tell you the total cost. My mailing address is also below.

It was fantastic to see this article in the Halifax Herald. I think Helen
should tell us the cost, including mailing, and give the mailing address so
people wishing a calendar can get one and support this great work.
Good luck with the fund raising.

Running raptor rehab
Vet hopes calendar can raise funds to help injured birds of prey
By MARY ELLEN MacINTYRE Truro Bureau
Sat. Dec 13, 2008
BROOKFIELD — After veterinarian Helene Van Doninck treats injured birds
of prey, they have to build up their strength in order to fly again.
It’s not like you can hold their wings and give them lessons.
"Oh, you need good gloves that go right up to here before you ever go
near them," said Dr. Van Doninck, pointing to her upper arm.
"You need face shields, the whole works, and you never handle them
unless you really have to."
Dr. Van Doninck operates the Cobequid Wildlife Rehabilitation Centre,
where she, her husband and a team of volunteers nurse, feed and rehabilitate
injured or sick animals and birds.
In the hopes of raising enough funds to build a large cage for the birds
of prey, the centre has printed a calendar with photographs of rehabilitated
former residents.
"We’re hoping the sale of the calendars will help us raise more funds
for the cage, which is the last step in their rehabilitation before they are
set free," Dr. Van Doninck said.
The injured owls, hawks and eagles brought to the centre are often in
very dire straits, she said.
Many of the birds are hit by vehicles as they’re trying to feed off
roadkill, while others receive a shock from power lines or are hurt when
they fly into windows.
Because of her training, Dr. Van Doninck can deal with the illness or
injury immediately.
"An IV is started and we are able to address it very quickly but at the
end of the eagle or owl’s rehabilitation, the centre doesn’t have a proper
cage for them to get conditioned," she said.
That means the animal has to be transferred to another facility that has
the right-sized cage, "and that adds to the stress."
The kind of cage needed for recuperation would be about 30 metres long
and would cost about $40,000.
"We have $8,000 set aside for the construction and we will continue with
fundraising until we’ve raised enough," Dr. Van Doninck said.
The centre is completely dependent on donations, except for medical
treatment, which Dr. Van Doninck provides for free.
