About Us

Bon Scott
PACT Grow to Learn at Emery CI

The PACT Grow To Learn program partners with the Toronto District School Board to create community schoolyard gardens in priority neighborhoods. Through volunteering students gain community service hours they need to graduate, learn essential food growing skills, and help build a local food system within their community. Vegetables are grown organically, and used within the schools and donated to local food banks in the summer time.
