The Toronto Botanical Garden provides a free, full-day program to Grade 4 students from priority high-needs schools from November to March. Living Winter is a curriculum-linked habitat program highlighting immersion and hands-on learning through indoor and outdoor exploration activities. Students will dissect owl pellets, hand-feed chickadees, and learn how animals adapt to survive in the winter. The program also includes a transportation subsidy of $200 and a morning snack. Living Winter runs Tuesday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. from November 5, 2024 to March 7, 2025.
This program is made possible by the TD Ready Commitment, the Catherine and Maxwell Meighen Foundation, Gore Mutual, the Jackman Foundation, the Henry White Kinnear Foundation, and Enbridge.
