Downsview Park staff will take you on a free outdoor Park program based on nature-themed topics to get you exploring the natural world, starting with Downsview Park!

Participants may sign up for one session or all the sessions. Each session must be registered separately. Each person must have a ticket.

Sunday January 24, 2021- Winter Shelter Building

Shelter is a basic need for all living things, including the wildlife that live inside Downsview Park. During this program we will be exploring how some of Toronto’s urban wildlife shelter themselves from the colder months of the year. Think it looks easy to build? Try creating some structures on your own using whatever materials nature has to offer.

All participants under the age of 14 must be accompanied by an adult. This program may take place on rough trails. Please do not bring animals* to Nature Connection programs and remember to dress for the weather.

*Service animals are always welcome.

We will be meeting outside the Discovery Centre (back of 70 Canuck Avenue, next to the greenhouses).

In response to COVID-19 changes to the program have been made to keep participants and staff as safe as possible. Participants and staff will be in small groups, not exceeding provincial regulations. All participants must preregister. We will no longer have a indoor component. We ask all participants to wear masks, and a health check will be needed before attending all programs. Additional information will be sent to all program participants. If you have any questions about our COVID-19 policies, please contact us downsvieweducation@clc.ca
