The Board of Management of the Toronto Zoo:

1. Received the report (October 8, 2020) from the Chief Executive Officer, Toronto Zoo, for information.

This report provides an update on the progress of the Toronto Zoo Community Conservation Campus (TZC3). Schematic design is well underway, and we have significant support from our community partners. We have received letters of endorsing the project from community allies and are working toward Memorandums of Understanding with potential project partners who can share their expertise and assist in securing additional support and funding. Most recently we have had discussions with City of Toronto staff from various Divisions to determine whether there are further partnership opportunities at the site.
