Our story…

Friends of High Park Zoo (via City of Toronto) Friends of High Park Zoo (FHPZ) was formed in 2012 to ensure the Zoo remained open in the wake of City budget cuts. With the City restoring operating funding in 2014, FHPZ now looks to raise sustainable funding from individuals, corporations and local businesses to enhance and sustain the Zoo. FHPZ has developed a multi-phased Master Plan for the Zoo, the first project of which is to rebuild the llama and capybara buildings to provide more indoor space for the animals. This project has successfully been funded, with construction starting in October 2020 and completion in spring 2021. We are raising funds for the llamas’ winter shelter which cost $6,000. FHPZ is a registered not-for-profit corporation and accepts donations directly and through the City of Toronto. Please support us in making the planned improvements to High Park Zoo and ensure its continued importance in our community for years to come.

Description

Funds raised will support grass-roots, community fitness programs, with special emphasis on kids and running. Our goal is to pilot a “Canada Running Schools” program in select schools in to encourage active and consistent running at elementary schools.
