CENTRE REFUGE
Nymous
Following the story of Nymous the raccoon, which made its way around the world, Rachel and Jacques started the “Refuge Nymous” project. They created a non-profit organization and acquired the proper licenses that enable them to legally treat, help, or adopt orphaned babies of our local wildlife for rehabilitation purposes in the nature. Their licenses also allow them to put in place an observation centre for public education. They currently care for over 40 animals, including raccoons, foxes, fawns, groundhogs, an opossum, a wolf, a coyote and a bear.

”Following the story of my raccoon Nymous that made its way around the world, I made the promise that if we were able to recuperate Nymous from the hands of the Ministry of Forests, Wildlife and Parks, I would do everything in my power to never let injured, lost or abandoned raccoons and other animals suffer. It’s from this promise that Centre Refuge Nymous was born.”

Helping the relationship between man and animal and the communication between them is the goal he constantly covets.
