With over 100 diverse community members visiting our centre weekly, the project fosters hands-on involvement from clients and staff, building a shared sense of ownership and environmental responsibility.
Through ongoing outreach and storytelling, we’re inspiring others to create pollinator-friendly spaces and strengthening a culture of sustainability and inclusion in our neighbourhood.

Thanks to support from the City of Toronto’s PollinateTO grant, our Refugee Haven Pollinator Gardens have come to life as vibrant, educational, and inclusive spaces.
These gardens serve as living classrooms, with interpretive signage and guided tours through our Youth Network to teach about native plants, pollinators, and cultural connections to biodiversity.
