Education Portal
Welcome!
Providing diverse and meaningful educational opportunities at Happy Tales is a key pillar of our mission in giving back to our community. We have recently launched our revitalized Education Portal where we have compiled a database of resources, tools, activities, videos and information to allow for accessibility to our content while we remain closed through the COVID-19 Pandemic.
We are embracing the restrictions that COVID-19 has brought to hands-on learning experiences, and as such, we are pushing the boundaries of what a typical learning environment looks and feels like. As we await approval and instructions from the Provincial Government with regards to reopening under COVID-19 guidelines, we are busy restructuring our program and activity offering here at the Sanctuary.
Our Education Portal is a free space for children and adults alike to explore plant-based lifestyles, the humane treatment of animals, environmentally conscious living and more. Our breadth of topics is expanding, and we are excited to be offering a variety of new topics for exploration!

We use our homemade pasta recipe and fill it with the most delicious pumpkin filling, then top it with brown vegan butter and pecans."
