What: Green Care Farms Inc. is excited to be offering a FREE educational workshop series on how to start a care farm! We are seeking Canadian community leaders to support us in this reciprocal, beta testing project.
Why: Our vision, "A Green Care Farm for people with dementia in every community in Canada".
Who: The workshop is ideal for anyone with the desire to either open a care farm of their own or be directly involved in opening one (e.g. working with a farmer). There are a limited number of spots. Who we will prioritize includes, but is not limited to, the following: landowners, farmers, Ontario-based community groups, and local professionals supporting older adults including people with dementia such as Activationists, Horticultural Therapists, Nurses, Personal Support Workers, Recreation Therapists, Social Workers etc. If you are a person passionately interested in care farming that does not fit into one of those categories - please still apply!

Wednesday March 27, 2024,
Wednesday April 3, 2024,

Where: This course will be facilitated by the Green Care Farms team and delivered virtually via Google Meets. (You must have access to a computer with video as well as a stable internet connection.)
How: Please complete the following application form to let us know that you are interested in attending! We anticipate greater interest in this course than the spaces available. We will be in touch with more details once we have reviewed application.
