Help Nelson raise money

For participating in 2025 Move Your Paws for the Polar Bear Cause 5K & 1K

My Story

I will be moving my paws for the Polar Cause on Sat Feb 22nd. A call to action for all of us to stand up for one of Canada’s most vulnerable species. With a fundraising goal of $35,000, every dollar raised will directly support your Toronto Zoo’s Polar Bear Life Support System (LSS) Project. This project involves modifications to the existing pool for our four polar bears, including new housing for advanced mechanical and filtration systems to allow for a saltwater system and adapting the current Tundra Trek pathway. These bears are used to saltwater and by upgrading our polar bear habitat, we will improve the experience and overall, well being for the bears currently living at the Toronto Zoo. Together, we can help ensure that future generations will have the opportunity to experience the beauty and majesty of polar bears – both at your Toronto Zoo and in the wild. Thank you!
