Nancy and Gunther Golinia have operated the Prince Rupert Wildlife Rehabilitation Shelter for over 30 years. Running the shelter from their home, they have rescued, rehabilitated and released thousands of birds and animals which have come from as far away as Terrace, Kitimat, Dease Lake and islands on the north coast of British Columbia. Having spent the majority of their adult lives healing wounded and abandoned wildlife with genuine compassion and care, the Golinias’ dedication, passion and selfless caring drives their unique and important community work.
BC Achievement is an independent foundation established in 2003 that honours excellence and inspires achievement in British Columbia.
