In the summer of 2005, Northern Lights Wildlife made the decision to expand our facility off-property. Partnering with Panorama Mountain Village in Invermere, we built an educational centre about wolves. Moab, a grey wolf born in the Spring of 2004, and raised in our Golden facility, was moved to the new facility.

On December 28, 2005, two wolves were rescued from a wildlife shelter and introduced to Moab. Amorok, a male, and Keehta, a female, had spent the first part of their lives as highly unsuitable pets. We have since found a great new home for Amorok, and Moab and Keehta continue to help us teach people about wolves at our Panorama location.

Over the past two and a half years, the Wolf Centre in Panorama has connected with thousands of individuals, spreading the word about wolves - but also other important issues such as the long-opposed Jumbo Glacier Resort. The summer Kid's Camp and Thursday Night Howl programs have been widely successful, and they have given people of all ages memories they won't soon forget.

Now the time has come for us to close our doors at Panorama, and this fall is a busy one with moving the wolves and enclosure to Golden. By winter, hopefully everyone will be settled into their new homes.

We hope that focusing our efforts in Golden and other aspects of education such as school programs and public events in the valley will make more of an impact. We are also very excited and pleased to give our former Panorama pack members, Moab and Keehta, more space and pack affection by bringing them to our main facility in Golden. We welcome you to visit Moab, Keehta and the rest of our pack at the Golden centre for many years to come. Thank you to all the visitors and Panorama staff for all your support and a truly memorable experience, we've had a howling good time!
