My Story
I have a confession: I’m wildly in love with the Toronto Zoo. Not in a “I want to marry a meerkat” kind of way, but in a “this place is magical and deserves all the support we can give” kind of way.
Over the years, the zoo has been the backdrop to my family's adventures, where my kids learned that elephants are not just big—they’re dramatically big—and that peacocks are basically nature’s way of showing off.
The Toronto Zoo isn’t just a place to see animals doing adorable things—it’s a powerhouse of conservation, science, education, and global impact. They’re out there saving species, protecting habitats, and making sure future generations can still say, “Whoa, that’s a real animal?” instead of “What’s a rhino?”
So whether you love animals, believe in conservation, or just want an excuse to use the 🐒 emoji, please donate now.
Description
With a fundraising goal of $100,000, every dollar raised will directly support your Toronto Zoo’s new entrance and state-of-the-art Community Conservation Centre - a dynamic new front entrance that will transform the guest experience and provide hands-on learning spaces designed to ignite and equip the next generation to take action for conservation.
When completed, the Toronto Zoo Community Conservation Centre will be a tangible reminder of your commitment to protecting wildlife and wild spaces for years to come.
With your support, this new Community Conservation Centre will:
- Empower the next generation of conservationists by providing transformative educational opportunities that equip them with the knowledge and skills to protect wildlife and wild spaces.
- Engage youth and the broader community through hands-on learning experiences that spark meaningful action to protect the planet and nurture future leaders.
- Offer free-access spaces that connect the public with Canadian species like River otters and Blanding’s turtles, allowing everyone—whether local youth or global visitors—to engage with and contribute to our conservation efforts.
The need has never been more urgent, and each of us has the power to make a meaningful impact. By supporting the Oasis ZooRun, you’re becoming part of the solution to protect the natural world for future generations.
