Spring is in the air and what better time to
bring new and exciting news about another funding opportunity with the Humber
Arboretum.
The Weston Family Parks Challenge is supporting the Humber
Arboretum’s Colonel Sam Smith Park Improvements and Programs project. This
project brings together diverse partners such as, the City of Toronto, Friends
of Sam Smith Park and Citizens Concerned About the Future of the Etobicoke
Waterfront, to improve wetland habitat and create a new outdoor classroom.
Environmental programs and stewardship opportunities will connect youth and
community members to nature by raising awareness of the importance of providing
and maintaining natural areas for birds and other wildlife.
As part of this incredible grant we are now
able to offer a $4.00 subsidy off our regular full day program price for local schools
or schools in need of financial assistance. Meaning, we are offering a full day
of outdoor education on the shores of Lake Ontario in the amazingly diverse
Colonel Samuel Smith Park for only $8.50
per student!
School groups will be hosted in Humber
College’s architecturally beautiful “cottages” located on the East side of the
Lakeshore Campus in the “H” building.
