Nathan Phillips Square will host the Gen-Earth Day celebrations from 1-5pm while Downsview Park will have the Earth Day Festival from 11am-4pm on Sunday, April 22, 2018. Earth Day was started in 1990 to bring people closer to nature and to foster stewardship and conservation. But we also like to party so consume less and play more!
The square at City Hall will be a free event with concerts, eco-experts, eco-friendly companies and family friendly activities. "Gen-Earth is a FREE (but registration is preferred), not-for-profit event to educate and inspire our youth, our communities, and our policy makers to take action for the protection of our ecosystems, the environment, and our Earth!" I love their motto "Leave the Earth better than we found it".
Up north in Downsview Park the annual free Earth Day tradition has educational activities along with tree planting, bird of prey demonstrations, arts and crafts, a campfire sing-along and much more.
