Guest: Mary- Ann Holm - President & Campaign Coordinator at Lucy's Edmonton Advocates' Project [LEAP]

Lucy's Edmonton Advocates' Project (LEAP) mandate is increasing the activity and involvement of Lucy's supporters who live in the greater Edmonton area and her supporters around the world! 2025 LEAP will have been advocating for Lucy for the past 10 years!

Lucy has been at the Edmonton Valley Zoo for 48 years and turns 50 this year. This is an ominous milestone as zoo elephants rarely survive to their mid forties. Lucy suffers from a number of zoo induced ailments which will shorten her life expectancy. She has no other elephant companions, which is considered cruel by elephant experts due to their highly complex social needs. The harsh Edmonton climate is detrimental to her health and painful for her ongoing arthritis and foot disease. Lucy lives in a tiny concrete cell and is only allowed outdoors for short controlled walks, weather permitting which means many days she never gets out at all.
