Earth Day is the perfect time to show your appreciation for our environment, just as Ontario starts to sprout for Spring! Cherry blossoms begin to bloom and everyone wants to get back outside into nature. Around town, you can find special events, environmental education, and neighbourhood clean-up opportunities. Earth Day falls on Tuesday, April 22 this year, but there are events all through the month. Dig into our Guide to Earth Day Events in Toronto and the GTA!
