InsideHalton Article: Getting children outdoors primary goal of new RBG Growing up Green initiative

"The Royal Botanical Gardens (RBG) is launching a new initiative to bring awareness to the health problems children face by spending too much time indoors.

Growing up Green, set to launch tomorrow (Friday), is an RBG fundraising initiative focusing on health, education and environmental sustainability for children in Ontario.

With close to $750,000 in initial support from groups such as the Ontario Trillium Foundation, the Friends of the Greenbelt Foundation and the W. Garfield Weston Foundation, RBG says it will work with private and public sector partners to provide educational programming, access to outdoor activities and increased green space."
