There are many exciting Earth Day events happening in Windsor-Essex this year! Read about them below and contact the organizers for more information.
Earth Day 2017 Student Contest
In recognition of Canada’s 150th birthday, we’re asking students to envision what they want our environment to look like in the next 150 years. We’re inviting students to tell us what they want for the future of our ecosystems. This contest asks students to dream big on what could or should be done! Whether it’s solar panels on every home, or forests on every street, we want to hear their vision for the environment well into the future!
