Landscape Ontario’s Toronto Chapter recently announced the list of successful initiatives and organizations that will receive funding support under the Chapter’s annual Bursary Program.
Since 2017, the Toronto Chapter Bursary Program has funded small-scale projects in the neighbourhoods where members live and work in an effort to help
nurture nature in Toronto.
About 40 funding applications were received this year, with successful applicants chosen by a selection committee for aligning with the program’s goals. These include enhancing the physical, mental and spiritual wellness of those in the local community; offering environmental benefit, such as a pollinator or wildlife garden; or providing educational benefit.
An extra $1,000 was awarded this year due to the large number of worthy projects that applied by the March 13 deadline.
Toronto Chapter is in the process of pursuing one of the projects to support on a larger scale.
Funding for the program is raised at the Chapter’s annual summer golf tournament.
