Join the cause and move YOUR paws to help one of the world's most vulnerable species - polar bears!
The 12th edition of the Move Your Paws for the Polar Bear Cause Run/Walk is open to runners, walkers, fitness folk, and polar bear fans of all ages and abilities. Bundle up and bring the whole family for a day of outdoor fun, fitness and fundraising. Did you know that Canada Running Series donates a portion of every race entry to the Toronto Zoo Wildlife Conservancy to support polar bear conservation?
With a fundraising goal of $35,000, every dollar raised will directly support new enrichment items here at your Toronto Zoo for both the Polar Bears and Arctic wolves as well as support ongoing conservation efforts.
Animal Enrichment is an essential part of the daily lives of animals here at the Toronto Zoo. By providing different forms of enrichment, it aims to enhance our animals’ environments by providing them with opportunities that stimulate their natural behaviours. Giving animals opportunities to follow their natural instincts is as essential to their overall health and well-being as good nutrition and medical care. Environmental changes are made with the goal of increasing the animal’s behavioural choices and drawing out their species appropriate behaviours, thus enhancing animal welfare. Some forms of enrichment may encourage foraging behaviours while others are strictly for play.
