In the Greater Toronto Area
Please call 311 or Animal Control only as a last resort, such as if Toronto Wildlife Centre has said they can’t help and/or if the swan is dead. Municipal services do not have rehabilitation capacity so they are more likely to put down animals, even those who could recover.
In Ontario but outside the Greater Toronto Area
Please refer to these two lists of wildlife rehabilitators, who may or may not operate rescue services https://www.torontowildlifecentre.com/ontario-wildlife-rehabilitators-map/ and https://www.ontariowildliferescue.ca/. Both directories are interactive or searchable by location and species.
You can also fill out a form on the Wildmail website, https://www.wildlmail.ca. Your form will go to a network of wildlife rehabbers, foster care, wildlife volunteers and wildlife vets in Ontario who will respond if they can help.
