beetles, and a log, complete with some holes as homes for native bees. Sometimes we think of wildlife corridors in terms of large mammals needing to move from one wildness to another but even the smallest animals need corridors right here in the city. Organizations like PollinateTO and Project

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 […]

We have a pollinator protection strategy for the city that emphasizes the problems with honey bees, and while it hasn't completely eliminated the rooftop-hive beewashing stuff, it has a harder time getting a foothold. Also you can get grants!

Screenshots of the thread:
In the absence of adequate shelter, St. Stephen-in-the-Fields' @MaggieHelwig has been supporting #encampment residents in Kensington. However, today we were told by @cityoftoronto's Encampment Office that an application has been made to "replace" the encampment with a garden. A group called "Friends of Bellevue" has secured a PollinateTO grant to create a garden — right at the site of the encampment, which technically is city property. All that's needed to secure this grant? "A group of at least three residents of Toronto (from separate households)." It is ludicrous that a scheme has been enacted to grow a city-funded garden as an underhanded means to violate encampment residents' rights. No eviction notices have been issued, but we have been told that eviction will happen next Friday or the following Monday. To where? While we've also heard that encampment residents will be offered a space in a shelter-hotel, we know these spaces will be closed imminently, as the cost to @cityoftoronto is now $253 a day for a single shelter-hotel bed. They *will* be shut down. And then what? This is grotesque.
