We are a charitable organization that works with Canadians to make a difference to the kind of legacy we leave behind … not just for wildlife, but also for our children.
CWF is dedicated to ensuring an appreciation of our natural world and a lasting legacy of healthy wildlife and habitat by informing and educating Canadians, advocating responsible human actions and representing wildlife on conservation issues.

It’s an even greater connection when that same value is shared amongst all your colleagues. At CWF, we believe in collaboration, transparency, and balance. We all play an important role in conserving Canada’s wildlife, whether it be doing direct conservation work, connecting with our supporters, or operating behind-the-scenes to ensure our mission is supported.
Nature doesn’t discriminate, neither should we. We believe everyone should have access to the outdoors and we actively strive to break down the barriers that exist to provide equal opportunity for all. We have implemented the same philosophy in our operations and how we choose to manage our staff. Please click the links below to learn more.
"I have called CWF my home-away-from-home for over four years now. CWF is an incredible organization that encourages internal growth with several professional development opportunities. The team is friendly, extremely hard-working, and it is clear that they love what they do. Within the organization, there are ample opportunities to collaborate among different departments. In addition to social events held throughout the year (both in-person and virtually), CWF offers an array of "lunch and learns" and opportunities to learn more about conservation efforts in Canada. As a bonus, staff can see some wildlife in action, including turtle hatchlings.
If you're looking for a warm and supportive environment; with a mix of playfulness and you have a passion for preserving and enjoying nature, this is the organization for you.

" This year will be my fifth year at CWF, and I can say that every year I’m more and more inspired by the conservation efforts that CWF takes on, and I feel very fortunate that every day I’m part of making a difference for wildlife. As campaign coordinator, I get to work with an incredible team of diverse individuals. Together we provide various types of communications to Canadians across this great country, about the challenges facing our natural world, the conservation work CWF is leading or involved in, and the many ways these Canadians can take action, and make a difference.
If you want to learn and grow with a company and you want to have a positive impact for wildlife and their habitat, then CWF is the place for you. Don’t hesitate, reach out, it will change your life.
