Happy June Scarborough-Guildwood!

The month of June is Indigenous Peoples Month, a time to learn, reflect, and celebrate the diversity of First Nations, Métis and Inuit across Tkaronto (Toronto) and all of Turtle Island (what is now called North America). This June, events are taking place across Toronto, including the Indigenous Arts Festival, Na-Me-Res Pow Wow, and National Indigenous Peoples Day Sunrise Ceremony. The City of Toronto remains committed to advancing truth, justice and reconciliation and is working closely with Indigenous partners to continue implementing the City's first Reconciliation Action Plan. To read the full plan, toronto.ca/Reconciliation.

Hi folks! Spring is here and we are excited to announce some completed projects to kick off the warm-

weather season.

The expansion of the outdoor orangutan habitat is complete, and guests will be welcome to view the

new space starting June 30 th ! This has been a multi-year project and we are thrilled to be announcing it’s

completion. There are some surprise additions that will bring your orangutan viewing experience to new

heights. A 17-metre (56-foot) climbing post for the orangutans to enjoy has been erected in front of the

Indian rhino habitat, which is connected to a second 20-metre (68-foot) post just outside the Indo-

Malaya Pavilion doors. You may be thinking “wait a minute, that’s right over the boardwalk!” That’s

right! If you look up, you may see an orangutan swinging right overhead as you make your way up to the

Indo-Malaya pavilion.
