The Canadian Peregrine foundation was created in 1997. The establishment of the organization was due to the excitement of a pair of Peregrine Falcons which successfully nested in Downtown Toronto; this was groundbreaking because they were the first pair to nest in southern Ontario in 30 years. Since that historic year the Canadian Peregrine Foundation has been dedicated to helping the populations
of Peregrines rebound to sustainable levels. Although Peregrines are no longer endangered they are still classified as a species at risk, thus there numbers are low and require help establishing healthy populations. While the Canadian Peregrine Foundation no longer operates as a charitable organization, it remains active in southern Ontario through volunteer efforts in monitoring and banding Peregrines in southern Ontario.
