“The series of CCO events were a great opportunity to reach out to neighborhoods across Toronto – something that we could not have accomplished without the leadership of CCO.   The events were well attended and we also particularly appreciated the opportunity to connect with other community groups and businesses.  We are looking forward to participating again soon.”

Phil Winters, Enwise Power Solutions,

"Thanks to Chris Winter of the Conservation Council of Ontario, who came up with Jane's Walk, Ms. Zeidler, Mr.Skene and the other walk leaders (check out www.janeswalk.net for a complete list), we can celebrate her memory by getting our eyes — and feet — on the street too.."
