Organiser's description
On Saturday, February 22, join the cause and move your paws to help one of the world’s most vulnerable species – polar bears!
This year marks the 11th edition of Move Your Paws. 5K and 1K distance options are open to anyone looking to move their body with a purpose - 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!
With a fundraising goal of $35,000, every dollar raised will directly support your Toronto Zoo’s Polar Bear Life Support System (LSS) Project. This project involves modifications to the existing pool for our four polar bears, including new housing for advanced mechanical and filtration systems to allow for a saltwater system and adapting the current Tundra Trek pathway. These bears are used to saltwater and by upgrading our polar bear habitat, we will improve the experience and overall well-being for the bears currently living at the Toronto Zoo.
