Hello TUGgers,
We’d like to announce that, thanks to the generosity of an anonymous TUG member, there is a new bursary for students in Toronto Metropolitan University’s online Urban Agriculture Certificate at the Chang School.
The Toronto Urban Growers' Bursary was created to support Black and Indigenous students who have shown a serious interest in improving urban agriculture and urban food systems in the Greater Toronto Area.

TUG would like to acknowledge that the land on which we work is the historical territory of the Wendat, Anishinaabe, Haudenosaunee and, most recently, the Mississaugas of the Credit River nations. We encourage anyone who lives and works in Tkaronto (Toronto) to think about our responsibilities to this land and water, and to the peoples who have cared for this place for thousands of years.
