Chris knew he wanted to get into the Wild Bird Centers far ahead of his actual opening. Starting a year prior to retirement from the Canadian Navy, Chris went through the interview and discovery process. As WBCA's first store in Canada, Chris and Alena have proven excellent franchisees and a great asset to the Wild Bird Center franchise. Chris & Alena say:

“While searching the Internet, I came across the Wild Bird Centers of America.  I knew immediately this franchise was for me. The idea of mixing business, my love of nature, a need for community involvement and backyard birding was the perfect match for me!”
