The Eastern Crane Bulletin (June 2020) says the Calgary Zoo is Canada's only facility that breeds Whooping Cranes for release in the wild. The facility also conducts incubation research in order to identify the number of eggs that hatch and release more Whooping Cranes into the wild each year. The Whooping Crane Recovery Program is funded by Conoco Phillips Canada. The zoo was founded in 1929 and is now home to nearly 1,000 creatures from 119 species.
