This garden is used for community engagement and to promote environmental awareness and healthy eating. Programs are tailored to meet the needs and interests of participants and participating organizations/groups. Programs include garden drop-in, public events, educational workshops about food and the environment, hands-on gardening and volunteer training.
There will be a range of environmental education programs and capacity building efforts such as the “Youth Environmental Ambassadors” program in 2011. The Green Roof also hosts visiting groups from Hub partner agencies and local groups including Public Schools. As it gets established, the Green Roof will be a demonstration project to inspire other health service providers.
The construction of the Green Roof was made possible by generous donations from BMO (Bank of Montreal) United Way of Greater Toronto, and Live Green Toronto. Green Access Programs initiated in 2011 are supported by the Ontario Trillium Foundation. The Green Roof is used for community engagement and to promote environmental awareness and healthy eating.
