Coun. Jamaal Myers (Scarborough North), who is also the TTC chair, said most kids nowadays won't get the experience of riding the SRT. [The SRT is] so important for our history. It's part of our identity and it's part of our rich cultural heritage that makes our part of the city unique, he said. Toronto Zoo guests will can access the car while they wait for the Zoomobile, the transportation method at the zoo.
Dr. Goodall was not only a pioneering scientist and one of the world's most influential conservation leaders, but also a tireless advocate for animal welfare and stronger protection for wildlife here in Canada and around the world,
"Conservation is a team sport," says DeJong, "We need more players and now are hoping that naming these two animals after our beloved Blue Jays provides us with another way to get the community excited about two of our city's great passions - baseball and conservation."
