Toronto Wildlife Centre which is the only wildlife center in all of Toronto. We unfortunately were not able to get a behind the scenes tour but there were three observation windows in the back of the center, one had a view into the operating room, there were no operations being performed but it was really interesting to be able to see the set up and how it was different to the set-up of some of the operating rooms I have seen in Scotland. Then next room was a room that some animals are rehabilitated in and currently there was no animals, however lucky window three was a one-way mirror into a care room where there was pigeon's, orphaned racoons and orphaned opossums where being feed and cared for.
TNR Course – Trap-Neuter and return. I gained my qualification to legally be able care for, feed, T-N-R my own feral cat colony in Toronto, allowing me to trap them and take them to Toronto humane society (where I visited on Thursday 25th) to get neuter and rerelease them back in the area. Officially being able to be part of the Trap-Neuter-Return: Fixing feral cat overpopulation project has really made my day and made me feel like I have accomplished so much in my short time here.
After the Blue Jays game, we all walked home and experienced Toronto by night for the first time. It is a beautiful city during the day but really comes alive at night, the lights, architecture and art around the city is even more spectacular at night.
The ROM
There was a beautiful sculpture called Tekanawi:ta – Who brought the law of Peace to the Five warring Nations to found the Haudenosaunee Confederacy – This was a beautiful intricate wood sculpture. There were also some Beautiful and intricately made smoking pipes, pots and other sculptures – the wood carving wither it was a practical object such as a boat or an art wood carving where stunning, the craftmanship was astounding to see.
