It's that time of year again! Our youth stewardship program has returned! Here at the Thorncliffe Park Women's Committee, we're big on the environment. For that reason, a number of our programs focus on encouraging environmental conservation and sustainability. This year, we were lucky enough to partner with both the City of Toronto and the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority to develop a really engaging and exciting program for our youth. With the goal of connecting youth from the community with nature, our youth stewardship program gives young community members the opportunity to explore, learn about, and engage with the incredible environment we live in here in Thorncliffe Park!

On Wednesday, July 11th, twenty of the gardeners from the Thorncliffe Family Garden piled onto a yellow school bus, and set off to Markham, Ontario. Our destination? Whittamore's Farm! We spent a lovely, sunny afternoon at the farm picking strawberries together. Once everybody's baskets were full, we took some time to relax, sharing food and stories as we picnicked in a wide, open field, surrounded by nature. Are you interested in joining us on exciting, community-building excursions like this one? Join our mailing list for more information on our upcoming events!
