<p><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>Bees,
butterflies, birds and bats are essential players in our gardens, farms and
wild areas. They are the pollinators that help produce fruit, vegetables and
flowers. It is estimated that one out of every three bites humans eat can be
attributed to a pollinator.<br>
Come and celebrate these amazing creatures. Learn about how pollinator
populations are declining globally and what you can do in your garden to make a
significant ecological difference by providing them with nesting and foraging
habitat. Join us to make <st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Toronto</st1:place></st1:City>
a friendlier place to bee. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
