COVID-19 Alert
All GRCA nature centres are currently closed to the public. Most of our public outdoor environmental community programs (including day camps, birthday parties, youth programs, Scout and Guide badge programs) remain suspended, and events have been cancelled. When new information is available, this page will be updated. Please subscribe to this page for program updates.
School programming is currently underway with limited school boards. It is being offered in a modified and/or virtual setting.
For more information about the impact of COVID-19 to GRCA programs and services, please refer our COVID-19 FAQ.
In the interim, our nature centre staff have put together a fantastic list of activities for those who are missing our in-person program offerings.
The Shade's Mills Toyota Nature Centre in Cambridge offers a variety of programs geared to schools as well as families, youth and community groups.
Our unique, hands-on programs teach environmental concepts and foster an appreciation of the natural world.
The centre is located in the oasis of Shade's Mills Conservation Area. The 177-hectares (437-acres) of forest, fields, stream and reservoir offer many opportunities to enjoy and study nature.
