"This unique fundraising campaign is a chance for everyone who enjoys the Toronto Zoo and its animals to help during these tough times. We saw great success with the first campaign with thousands of people stepping up to help replace lost parking revenue. Thank you to all those who came forward to help last year and all those who will come forward this year to contribute to the second phase of the Zoo Food For Life campaign. Your contributions will help ensure the Zoo remains a vibrant attraction when this pandemic is over," said Toronto Mayor John Tory. Learn more about how you can contribute by visiting their website here. BSM programming events have been financially assisted by the Ontario Cultural Attractions Fund, a program of the Government of Ontario through the Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Sport.
