Grade 7s and 8s Visit Tommy Thompson Park

🌲 Last week, both the Grade 7's and the Grade 8's visited Tommy Thompson Park, a conservation area in the city. The students got to pedal down the Leslie Street Spit and explore the 'accidental wilderness'. While at TTP, we learned about the importance of protecting wetlands and biodiversity here in Toronto. If you are looking to get outside this summer, TTP is open to the public every weekday evening and weekends. There is a Butterfly Festival in August, and free fishing spots. 🎣
