Join Arboretum staff online for a chat about animals with an undeserved reputation, and other nature topics.
The Nature Exchange is a casual virtual conversation about all things nature. Drop in to hear members of the Arboretum's Nature Interpretation team share stories and answer your questions about the wild plants and animals of the GTA. You are welcome to join the conversation or just listen in.
The theme for this Nature Exchange is Nature Has No Villains:
City-dwellers often complain about "trash pandas" and "rats with wings", but do raccoons and pigeons really deserve those names? (And what's so bad about being a rat, anyway?) We'll be talking about some of the amazing qualities of crows, Canada geese, coyotes, and other wildlife who have gotten a bad rap.
This is a free, drop-in event open to all.
No registration is required. You can learn more about the Nature Exchange on the Arboretum website, or simply join the event on June 23 at 2 p.m.

National Indigenous Peoples Day
June 21, 2021: National Indigenous Peoples Day
|
On June 21, 2021, Canada observes National Indigenous Peoples Day. This is a day for all people living in Canada to acknowledge and recognize the outstanding contributions, unique heritage, challenges and diverse cultures of First Nations, Inuit and Métis peoples. This year in particular marks the 25th anniversary of celebrating the history, cultures, and achievements of First Nations, Inuit, and Métis peopleThs1. As part of National Indigenous Peoples Day this year, we are honouring the missing children, the families left behind and the survivors of residential schools.2 During this year's National Indigenous Peoples Day, many will be taking time to reflect and mourn the children found in 215 unmarked graves in Kamloops, B.C.3 The organizers of the kid's shoe memorial at the Vancouver Art Gallery are inviting Canadians to mourn and remember the children tonight at 10:00 p.m. EST as part of a vigil.4 A joint statement regarding the discovery of the remains of the 215 children from Humber President Chris Whitaker and Dean of Indigenous Education and Engagement Jason Seright can be found here. In response to the recommendations of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada, Humber identified as its Strategic Priority #7 (under Pillar #3) “Healthy and Inclusive Community” to continue to build a diverse and inclusive community of exceptional students, faculty and staff. The supporting action is to establish and implement an institutional framework and strategy for equity, diversity and inclusion that addresses the particular needs of Humber students and employees. The following two actions reflect Humber’s commitment to the well-being of Indigenous Peoples. Firstly, Humber will implement an Indigenous Education Plan, which outlines programs and services in support of Indigenous learners and communities. Secondly, Humber will honour authentic Indigenous voices by enacting the Protocol for Indigenous Community Engagement, which advances cross-cultural engagement, mutual respect and understanding. The Centre for Human Rights, Equity & Inclusion invites you to applaud the immense contributions of Indigenous Peoples in Canada 365 days of the year. It is imperative that we acknowledge the historical and current challenges resulting from colonization and work towards full reconciliation. Learn more about National Indigenous History Month and National Indigenous Peoples Day by exploring the rich and diverse cultures, voices, experiences and histories of First Nations, Inuit and Métis peoples. |
