Teachers! On September 28, you and your grades 7-9 students can join us virtually as we stream live from Tommy Thompson Park (TTP) – a wilderness space minutes from downtown Toronto.

We’ll introduce your class to their wildlife neighbours and show how everyone can visit TTP to explore it for themselves!

Learn about local ecosystems, wildlife interactions to keep eyes open for, and how what’s in the park impacts Lake Ontario’s water quality. We also invite students on a quest to be completed when visiting in-person. Find out more on the livestream!

As you tune in along with other classes across the GTA, you and your students can ask questions in real-time during the livestream lesson. (Note: you’ll need a YouTube account to use the chat function.)

Set a reminder and join us on September 28 HERE!

Together with Nature Canada, we encourage everyone to get outside this fall. For more information about TTP, visit: tommythompsonpark.ca.
