Your destination for decidedly untraditional Shakespeare under the stars, all summer long. Canada’s longest-running outdoor theatre event celebrates its 35th year with bold new takes on two Shakespeare classics. Get transported from the enchanted musical shores of Illyria, setting for the madcap comedy of mistaken identity Twelfth Night (or What You Will), to the divided kingdom of King Lear, one of the most monumental works of English drama – re-imagined from a female perspective, and starring award-winning actor Diane D’Aquila.

Have you ever heard a bat hunting at night? Join High Park Nature Centre and explore High Park’s amazing and mysterious bat populations. Using hand-held bat detectors, you will listen for bats’ ultrasonic calls in High Park, explore their habitat, behaviour, and favourite foods as they swoop and loop during their evening, mid-air forage. There is much to learn about these creatures, but with the help of citizen scientists like you, everyone can work together to uncover the secrets of their elusive lives.

While the Zoo is open every day from 7:00 am to dusk, visitors can get up close to some animals in the Llama Pen on weekends and statutory holidays from 11:30 am to 2:00 pm (beginning in April until the end of October). Visitors can feed and pet the llamas (Honey and her friends) and interact with other animals such as chickens and rabbits.

This week’s walk -

Native Plants and Flowers led by Karen Yukich

—

Sunday morning casual gatherings offering observations on the various elements of the park. Each walk has a different theme and is led by volunteer scientists, historians, and local naturalists who will help you to understand and explore High Park’s many characteristic features.

Walks may go on wooded trails, so please wear appropriate clothing and footwear. Each session is scheduled for 1 1/2 hours. All ages are welcome; some walks may be more attractive to children. Dogs on leash only, please.

Free Sunday Walking Tours take place every first and third Sunday of the month, including holidays, from 10:30 a.m. to 12 noon, but participants may come and go as needed.

Meet at the benches, across the road from the south side of Grenadier Restaurant in the middle of High Park.
