Community Activities
In addition to our commitment in supporting children's charities in Canada and around the world, we are also actively involved in many other exciting community programs and events, such as the Lion Exhibit at the Toronto Zoo, the animatronic lion at the Calgary Zoo, support for future business leaders studying at the Ivey School of Business, the Toronto Area Hospice Regatta in benefit of Perram House Hospice, and much more.
Calgary Zoo
Savings and Conservation work together....
Pop cans and Panthers, Gorillas and Cell Phones, oh my....
We know how much you love to save and conserve (your money and your planet). So this unique relationship should really inspire you. ING DIRECT and the Calgary Zoo have brought entertainment and conservation together with the world's first animatronic lion in combination with a coin operation and plasma screen.
The ING DIRECT Conservation Lion is a moving, talking, life-sized male lion who sits on the roof of the research cabin in the TransAlta Rain Forest building at the Calgary Zoo. The Lion entices patrons to contribute a loonie to see his inspiring conservation messages. Net proceeds go towards worldwide conservation efforts. Visit the Calgary Zoo, and you can help to conserve and save our planet!
Can't make it to the Zoo but want to join the conservation effort? Recycling your pop cans can reduce the need to mine aluminum from the Central American forests where parrots and many other precious animals live. So recycle and save the forest too!
