Celebrate the beauty of the Winter Solstice and embrace the longest night of the year by illuminating it with your creativity!
In this workshop, our instructors will guide participants in upcycling a tin can to create their own eco-friendly tin lantern.
Each participant will also get the chance to personalize their own tote bag using fabric paints and brushes.

The Winter Solstice marks a turning point every year in the natural world when the days that have been shortening begin to lengthen.
While solstices have much cultural significance for people, wildlife have just nestled into their winter survival modes. The winter activities of hibernation, torpor, or staying active in thick coats of fur or feathers is happening all around us in Toronto’s beautiful wilderness habitats.
