Education Learning Hub
Farmed Animals • Sanctuaries • Education
This page brings together the learning and educational side of Lily’s Place.
Farmed animal sanctuaries are still unfamiliar to many people, and questions often arise about the animals themselves, the role sanctuaries play, and how this work connects to communities, education, and the wider world.
The Learning Hub is a growing collection of information and resources for anyone interested in understanding more about farmed animals, sanctuaries, and the educational work developing around this field.
Why This Hub Exists
Over time, Lily’s Place has heard from teachers, students, families, volunteers, and community members who are looking for clear, classroom-friendly and community-friendly ways to learn about farmed animals and sanctuaries.
At the same time, there are very few resources in Atlantic Canada that focus on this topic outside of agricultural or veterinary contexts.
This hub is a place to gather and share materials that help fill that gap.
If at anytime you'd like to speak with our Education Specialist, Sarah Sinacore, please reach out to her via email at outreach@lilysplace.ca

Every animal at Lily’s Place has a story and they’re safe here because people care. Get the classroom-friendly lesson plan (and sub plan) for teachers who want to take their students through our Lovely Letter To A Resident lesson plan (and sub lab).
We’ll be sharing some of the letters with our residents and reading a few out loud in the barn!

FREE LESSON PLAN
Many people are curious about farmed animals but have few opportunities to learn about their lives beyond brief or indirect encounters. Sanctuaries offer a different lens, making it possible to see what day-to-day life looks like over months and years as animals settle into safety and routine.
This section will share information that helps build a clearer picture of farmed animals as individuals with their own personalities, relationships, and long-term needs. Stories and real examples from sanctuary life will help connect learning with lived experience and encourage thoughtful curiosity about the animals who live here.

Farmed animal sanctuaries are a small and often unfamiliar part of the animal-care landscape. Many people encounter the idea of sanctuary for the first time and wonder how it differs from shelters or rescues, what lifelong care involves, and what it takes to support animals over many years.
This section will share information that helps explain how sanctuaries function in practice — from daily care and long-term planning to the community support that makes this work possible. Over time, it will grow into a collection of resources that offer a clearer picture of the role sanctuaries play and the realities behind sustaining lifelong refuge.
