This thread will aim to highlight upcoming projects in Canadian zoos. I have already created equivalent threads for the US and UK. I hope to soon post others for Australia and New Zealand as I have nearly completed them. Further on in the future I hope to post threads for European countries.

Bold means the project has been completed. Any mistakes or omissions or any other additional information would be welcomed. So please let me know if you spot any.

First off, just a minor nitpick: It is Riverview Park and Zoo, not Parkland.

OK, i'm glad Jungle Cat World is creating new enclosures. I never really liked how many of the cat enclosures, barring the lions', are on the small side. I'm pretty sure the snow leopard cage was just 12 square meters in size.

If the Magnetic Hill Zoo's master plan PDF is anything to go by, there will also be a new hyacinth macaw and anteater exhibit and a restaurant containing a yet-to-be-determined animal are also being constructed. You may want to add those.
