TD Park People Grants Program in Canada

Deadline: 24-Feb-25

The TD Park People Grants Program helps to connect people to their local parks and green spaces.

The TD Park People Grants Program are available for almost any community event in a publicly accessible green space — whether in a city park, social housing property, or schoolyard — that fosters ongoing care and protection of these spaces.

From Indigenous plant medicine workshops to nature walks, they help local leaders organize events focused on environmental education, sustainability, or stewardship that bring people together.
