As the season of giving approaches, the Friends of Presqu’ile Park invite you to make a meaningful impact on our beloved natural space. Buying a gift for the nature-lover or the loved one who has everything or making donations to the Friends help fund conservation projects, educational programs, and park enhancements that benefit visitors and wildlife alike.

Giving Tuesday is a global movement of generosity that falls the Tuesday after Black Friday. This is your chance to make a difference and support the causes that matter most to you.
The Friends of Presqu’ile Park work to provide funding and volunteers for park projects and enhance opportunities for park visitors. With your support, together we can
Build visitor facilities like boardwalks
Renew park assets, like the declining forest
Preserve wildlife populations at risk
Inspire people of all ages to care for nature
Join us this Giving Tuesday and give to your favourite charity—or consider supporting Friends of Presqu’ile Park.
