Ottawa’s royal swans wintered at Parc Safari near Montreal. The initial partnership with Parc Safari will last two years while city staff look at options, including sponsorships. Winter care at Parc Safari costs $22,000, plus feed and veterinary care.
The swans are the descendants of the six pairs Queen Elizabeth gave Ottawa in honour of Canada’s centennial in 1967.
Ottawa Mayor Jim Watson along with city councillors Diane Deans and David Chernushenko release the Royal Swans and the black swans into the Rideau River in Ottawa Tuesday May 24, 2016.
The city also owns Australian black swans, descendants of a pair received as a trade with the Montreal Zoo in 1974. They live on the Rideau River in the summer and previously spent the winters in a facility built on Leitrim Road. But the birds’ winter home, a heated wooden structure built in the 1960s, has been deteriorating for many years. At city hall, it’s known as Swantanamo Bay.
