THE BOARD OF MANAGEMENT OF THE TORONTO ZOO

The Board of Management of the Toronto Zoo operates the 710-acre facility in Scarborough, which houses over 5,000 animals from around the world. The zoo functions as both a public attraction and a research institution, focusing on wildlife conservation, animal welfare, and environmental education. Through exhibits, educational programs, and keeper talks, the zoo helps visitors understand animal behavior and habitat needs. The organization participates in breeding programs for endangered species and conducts field research to support wild populations. School groups, families, and residents throughout the GTA visit to learn about biodiversity while the zoo works behind the scenes on species recovery initiatives and veterinary care for its animals.
