We hold our shelter building workshops throughout the fall and winter season. Shelters built during the workshops are then made available to caretakers and colonies in need. The workshops are also a great venue for caretakers to network with others in the animal rescue and TNR community.
SHELTER BUILDING WORKSHOPS:
Since we started in 2010 we’ve built over 5,900 shelters!
HOW TO PARTICIPATE:
- APPROPRIATE BEHAVIOR: We aim to foster a welcoming atmosphere of community at our workshops. No volunteer should be made to feel uncomfortable by the words/actions of another volunteer. We expect our volunteers to engage in an appropriate manner with each other and with the Toronto Humane Society staff;
