It was a pleasure to join the Royal Botanical Gardens today to celebrate a $300,000 investment through the Ontario Trillium Foundation that will help make this treasured community destination more accessible and inclusive. This investment will support improvements to the Royal Botanical Gardens' digital resources and visitor amenities, helping ensure more people can experience everything this remarkable organization has to offer. For 85 years, the Royal Botanical Gardens has inspired generations through conservation, environmental stewardship, education, and a shared connection to nature. I'm proud that our government is investing in projects that strengthen community organizations and help create more accessible spaces for everyone. Congratulations to Nancy Rowland and the entire Royal Botanical Gardens team on this exciting milestone!

Team Orange continued its strong partnership with @RBGCanada by supporting a shoreline planting at Cootes Paradise! Volunteers planted marsh species to boost biodiversity, improve water quality and reduce erosion. Thanks to our volunteers and the RBG for helping local ecosystems!
