    2011 ANNUAL REPORT 2011 message from the Chair and CEO Welcome to unbeatable fun and adventure without leaving the GTA. With over 700 acres (283 hectares) to explore, the Toronto Zoo delivers action and excitement, and provides inspiration for people to love, respect and protect wildlife and wild spaces. governance changes In April, the City of Toronto adopted a new public appointments policy for its boards and agencies. The intent was to increase citizen engagement and to bring wider and deeper expertise to the City's boards. This resulted in an increase to the number of citizen members on the Zoo Board of Management. In September, City Council nominated six new citizen members to the Board including: Cal Bricker, Tonie Chaltas, Paul Doyle, Sabrina Fiorellino, Michael Ho and Joshua Vinegar. In the fall of 2011, the Board of Management began a process to review other operating models and best practices for the Zoo, to make it more financially sustainable, while continuing support of core programs in conservation, education and research. spreading Zoo spirit This year we shared Zoo spirit! Staff participated in not one, but two Canadian television series, raising funds for the Toronto Zoo Wildlife Health Centre through the glee club style talent show, Canada Sings , while the Toronto Zoo was also selected as the feature for the season premier and debut of Undercover Boss Canada . We joined the world of social media with the introduction of the first official Toronto Zoo Facebook page, where thousands of fans now share this spirit. We used this new media channel to help us launch our first “I love the Zoo campaign,” which bled into all areas of marketing and communications for fall 2011.

  • Conservation Is a State of Harmony Between Men and Land. Aldo Leopold
    Conservation is a state of harmony between men and land. Aldo Leopold CONSERVATION AND EDUCATION ACTIVITES REPORT 2011-2012 The 2011-2012 year was packed with some new and great conservation, education and wildlife initiatives. It was an exciting year, and everyone at the Toronto Zoo contributed to our success. The CEW Division remains the backbone of the "invisible Zoo", and our dedicated staff is grateful to all other Divisions for the support and resources they provide. Some of the highlights for 2011-2012 include: Wildlife Health Centre (WHC) – In 2011, design of a new 20,000 sq. ft. WHC was commenced. This building will replace the current hospital with a much larger state-of-the-art facility. A number of the rooms, including treatment and surgery, will be visible from a large atrium to escorted tour groups, allowing close observation of any procedures. There will also be a new pathology suite. 2012 Bioblitz – Toronto Zoo hosted the first ever Bioblitz for the Rouge Park, partnering with the Royal Ontario Museum (ROM), the Rouge Park Alliance, Rouge Park Conservation Center, the Toronto Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) and Ontario Nature. The event proved to be the most successful in North America for 2012. Over 1410 species were identified in a 24 hour collecting period from 3:00 pm June 15 until 3:00 pm June 16. Special thanks must be given to the staff of the Toronto Zoo, Rouge Park, students, and the University of Guelph. Vancouver Island Marmot Recovery Team Program – In 2011, 67 young marmots took their first steps on Vancouver Island.
