Grateful for #OutdoorLearning opportunities for @tdsb students to get up close to nature, learning about diversity of living things and contributions of natural systems & its benefit to humans — Thank you @HillsideOE for another amazing program!
@NeethanShan @TOES_TDSB
We are open for @Doors_OpenTO today until 3:00. We've welcomed a lot of people already, and would love it if you came to see us too!

Looking forward to spend Saturday @HillsideOE as we participate in @Doors_OpenTO from 10-3. Come visit the amazing staff and learn and experience some of the amazing @TOES_TDSB programming at this historic site.
It’s early this year, but the maple sap is dripping and we are boiling our first batch of maple syrup. Thank you to the students @BrianPS_TDSB for helping us to start the season!
Good things are growing at Hillside! Hopefully the harvest lasts until fall for the kids instead of the groundhogs, chipmunks, voles and birds! 🤣 (although- reciprocity- they deserve a treat too!) @TOES_TDSB @tdsb @LC3_TDSB @EcoSchoolsTDSB

Our Grade 3 classes from @CurlingTDSB had an incredible day of outdoor learning today @HillsideOE . They got to hike, explore, make and eat bannock with maple syrup, and toast marshmallows. Thx to the staff and our volunteers for making it such a memorable experience for us.

Students attended @tdsb @HillsideOE to learn more about the connections between air & water in the environment. The s’mores were a hit too!

What an amazing day @EOEC_TDSB for their first ever Maple Syrup Open House! Over 70 people from all across the system joined in the activities - tapping trees, collecting sap, feeding birds, bannock on the fire, visiting the farm, and more! @TOES_TDSB #OEmemories
With the melting snow, so many cool things to discover on the trail! @TOES_TDSB @LC3_TDSB
Batch 8 is in the books! We’ve bottled 86 litres of maple syrup so far this season and the sap is still flowing. We are hoping to reach 100 litres before the trees bud.
Earlier in February putting up the maple lines! At Hillside students take part in the process of collection and of course- tasting! @TOES_TDSB @tdsb @UIEC_Tdsb @EcoSchoolsTDSB @LC3_TDSB
Students @TDSB_BandBPS go snowshoeing and build a quinzhee as they learn about Indigenous innovations @TOES_TDSB @LC3_TDSB

Our @DonValleyMS Grade 8 classes had an amazing time in the outdoors at @HillsideOE today! They really enjoyed the predator-prey game and making s’mores! Thank you to Carmela, Tina, and Patrick for providing this wonderful experience for our students. #TDSB #outdooradventures – at Toronto, Ontario
