TD NatureLink

See how our program is building confidence, teaching new skills, and creating community across Canada.

Removing barriers, one trip at a time.

TD NatureLink provides subsidized transportation to outdoor spaces and outdoor programming to newcomers to Canada, refugee groups, Black, Indigenous and other marginalized groups across Canada. Recognizing the many systemic barriers that can make it challenging to access the outdoors, NatureLink works to provide spaces for people to explore new or familiar spaces, learn and build skills to build confidence in the outdoors, and connect with others in a fun environment.

Since 2017, over 10,000 people have participated in NatureLink across 37 different locations across the country, and NatureLink has partnered with over 25 different settlement and community organizations.

15,000 participants. 40 locations. One mission.

The outdoors should be for everyone.

According to our NatureLink survey, 97% of program participants are more likely to go outside again and more confident in the outdoors after participating in NatureLink. In addition, 94% of respondents acknowledged learning a new outdoor skill.

Thank you TD Friends of the Environment

TD NatureLink was developed with support from TD Friends of the Environment, who also provided funding for TD Park Express shuttles.

We work in collaboration with Transportation Options (T.O.), a non-profit organization dedicated to advancing sustainable transportation and tourism across Canada. Since 1992, Transportation Options has provided the organizational backbone for projects and innovations that make travel more integrated, healthy, convenient, economically beneficial, and environmentally sound.Through this partnership, Parkbus is able to expand its mission by offering free and accessible transit options, helping more people connect with nature without the need for a car. Together, we’re creating smarter, greener ways to travel that benefit communities, visitors, and the environment alike.

Parkbus could never succeed without generous support from dozens of organizations that provided financial, logistical, operational and promotional support. We work closely with all levels of government, as well as private sector organizations, other non-profits and charities, as well as individuals. We are always open to new ideas - to partnership opportunities, please contact us.
