Youth Advisory Council-led rooftop garden project gives back to the hospital community 

Featured on CTV News Toronto and CP24, Pauline Chan spoke with Holland Bloorview’s Youth Advisory Council (YAC) members about a new project that is enabling them to give back to the hospital community that has given them so much. 

In partnership with the Bowery Project, a Toronto non-profit that transforms vacant spaces into productive mobile farms using repurposed milk crates, YAC members have harvested about 20 lbs. of produce from the crate garden to date and distributed them to inpatient families and hospital program participants.
