Profile

Cape Jourimain Nature Centre Inc. is a charitable, not-profit organization dedicated to improving our understanding of the natural and human history of the Cape Jourimain area and communicating these stories to the public. The Centre strives to maintain as small an ecological footprint on our environment as possible and encourages our visitors to do the same in their own lives.

The Centre is located in a 675 hectare National Wildlife Area, and has been developed in cooperation with the Canadian Wildlife Service. Cape Jourimain was designated a National Wildlife Area to conserve important wildlife habitat.

The planning and development of Cape Jourimain Nature Centre began in 1993, with the incorporation of the organization in 1997. The Centre opened its doors to the public in 2001.
