HELPING TEACHERS INSPIRE COMPASSION FOR ANIMALS, PEOPLE & THE ENVIRONMENT
Ivan is an easygoing gorilla who lives in a shopping mall with his friends Stella the elephant, and bob the stray dog.
When Ruby the elephant shows up, everything begins to change. Ivan sees how Ruby is treated and vows to his friend Stella that he will do what he can to take care of her.
Although this book is fiction, it was inspired a true story, Ivan: The Remarkable True story of a Shopping Mall Gorilla
The Alberta SPCA respects the deep foundational connection Indigenous Peoples have had to animals and this land, now known as Alberta, for thousands of years. We are grateful to continue to work towards the humane treatment of all animals in all areas of the province on the traditional territories encompassed by Treaties 6, 7, 8, 4, & 10 and the Métis Homeland.
We are inspired by how many Indigenous Peoples recognize that animals, people and the environment are interconnected and respecting these relationships is fundamental to the well-being of all living things and the earth that we share. As treaty people, we also strive to listen, respect, care for, and live in harmony with one another, animals and the natural world.
