ROM In My Backyard: ROM Trailblazers had its second successful year in four locations of the St. Albans Boys and Girls Clubs. Located in four priority neighbourhoods across Toronto, ROM Trailblazers provided children aged 6–12 with opportunities to engage in hands-on activities rooted in the ROM’s collections, and designed to foster empathy, innovation, and co-creation. Throughout the program children are encouraged to apply lessons from the past, insights from the present, and aspirations for the future toward solving real-world challenges in their communities.
This program is generously supported by the Patrick and Barbara Keenan Foundation, The MacMillan Family Foundation, and the Cheng Family.
