Special Events for GTA Community Service Charitable Agencies
Walkabout is excited to host special half-day and full-day equine experiential learning and mentorship events for community service agencies from the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) and Indigenous Groups Beyond Borders. Participants – including individuals experiencing homelessness, new immigrants, and disadvantaged youth – will have the opportunity to connect with nature, engage in art activities, and experience equine interactions in the stunning Haliburton Highlands.
​
For many participants, this will mark their very first experience outside of the city, providing a unique chance to hike alongside horses, lead them through an obstacle course, and embrace the healing power of nature. These special events aim not only to foster connections with the environment and animals but also to create a sense of community among participants, promoting emotional well-being and personal growth.
