This new garden features plants selected to inspire kids to touch, smell and interact with nature. Join Hamilton Children’s Museum staff to explore plants, animals, insects and engage in hands-on activities.

Help A Child Smile, (www.helpachildsmile.com) is a volunteer-run charity dedicated to bringing joy into the lives of children who are being treated or have been treated for cancer at Hamilton’s McMaster Children’s Hospital. Their membership now exceeds 1500 families. They provide welcome packages which include parking passes, gas cards, meal vouchers and many more in-hospital supports.
