Private Donations

private donations: My respect is enormous sfor all the work and private donations made over three generations to the RBG, a 2,200-acre site in Burlington and Hamilton. It was hard not to notice, however, that the crowd of about 200 people was one of quite senior seniors. Where then, I asked, are the young people? Who is going to steward the public gardens the RBG and Toronto Botanical Gardens, at Lawrence Ave. and Leslie St., are the only two bonafide botanical gardens in the GTA; I am a fan, patron and supporter of both of the future and Any kid will run any errand for you if you ask at bedtime. I had the honour, this past summer, of addressing a distinguished group of volunteers and staff at the annual general meeting of the Royal Botanical Gardens. We are fortunate to have them digging in with both hands to make our community a better place. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
