About this Event

As part of TMU's Wellbeing Week, the Mental Health and Wellbeing Committee and the TMU Urban Farm is hosting a tour of the urban farm space at the Daphne Cockwell Health Sciences Complex (DCC) rooftop.

The Urban Farm's second rooftop space atop the DCC, is the first purpose-built green roof under the City of Toronto's Green Roof By-law for food production, and is the dedicated home to its Indigenous Foodways Program and Black Food Sovereignty Initiative.

The Indigenous Foodways Program stewards growing spaces here that celebrate traditional Indigenous ecological knowledge and ways of growing, while producing crops and medicines for our community.

The Black Food Sovereignty Initiative has a dedicated garden here called the Harvest Collective & Learning Circle, which seeks to engage Black communities through the cultivation of food and providing education opportunity addressing Black food sovereignty.

The Urban Farm welcomes the TMU community to join for a guided tour of this new rooftop space and learn about these two food sovereignty initiatives here. Participants should arrive 5-10 mins before the tour begins at the main entrance doors of the DCC at 288 Church Street. The rooftop space is a card-access only entry, and latecomers will not be admitted.

*Accessibility: This tour is wheelchair accessible. Please email [email protected] if you require additional accessibility accommodations to ensure your inclusion in this event
