Join The Bentway and TRCA for a hands-on workshop to connect with urban nature and strengthen your senses!
About this Event

Connect with urban nature in new ways! Join us for an interactive walking tour and activities to stimulate senses such as touch, smell, and sound. Participants are invited to engage their senses to deepen relationships with their surroundings, the environment, and each other through a sensory experience of our public spaces.

Towards the end of the session, participants will have the opportunity to plant native wildflower seeds in paper pots to take home to contribute to their own garden or outdoor space!

What to expect:

  • The meeting point is Bentway Staging Grounds (45 Dan Leckie Way), an outdoor space under the Gardiner Expressway.
  • Youth under age 16 must be accompanied by a caregiver.
  • All skills levels are welcome – no experience necessary.
  • All materials provided.
  • Participants may be invited to walk over uneven, large rocks on site.
  • The event will include short walks through Canoe Landing Park and the surrounding area. The path is paved but does include a small incline.
  • Please wear sturdy shoes (closed toe shoes are recommended) and appropriate outerwear.
  • During this event, accessible public washrooms are available nearby at The Bentway Studio (55 Fort York Blvd), about a 5-minute walk away.
  • Bentway Staging Grounds is accessible to mobility devices; visitors enter onto a series of walkways approx. 7ft wide.

This event is free to attend. If you are able, please consider making a donation to support our work. The recommended minimum for this program is $10.
