The KYLE22 Project…

… is an urban art and philanthropic project inspired by a feral peacock named Kyle who once lived in the trees and on the streets of Lower Gibsons. In March of 2023 Kyle was killed by an off-leash dog – a tragic loss for that caring community.

Irene Davy, long time caregiver and advocate for sick and injured wildlife, reminds us that many injuries to wildlife are a direct result of human impacts on the natural world. Kyle’s death, and his memory, are a reminder of that.

Whether through donations and volunteering, or by working to raise awareness among our networks, we can all help Gibsons Wildlife Rehabilitation Centre; the primary need is to find the centre a new home, ideally on 3-4 acres between Gibsons and Sechelt.

As long as there is a place where the wild creatures can go for help, the centre’s dedicated staff and volunteers will work to nurse them back to health.

By harnessing the collective heart of our coastal communities, we know great things are possible. Please spend time looking through the GWRC website, and answer the question, “How can I help?” “How can we help?”

And to Kyle… you will live on in our hearts.
