Celebrate Earth Day – Tuesday April 22 – in Vancouver, Surrey and BC!
Earth Day on Tuesday April 22 is the biggest celebration of the year about the need to save our planet.
You can join in at Earth Day events across British Columbia on Earth Day and the weekend following.
In Vancouver, Earth Day volunteers will assemble to plant native trees and shrubs at Everett Crowley Park (entrance at Kerr Street and 64th Avenue) in Southeast Vancouver on Saturday, April 26th – from 11 am until 3 pm.
The old Kerr Road Dump is now a natural green refuge for people and wildlife, where reforesting work continues each year on Earth Day. Earth Day at Everett Crowley Park offers a wide range of free family-oriented fun including professional performers, music, dancing, cultural and ecological exhibits, and very special children’s activities.
The entertainment, exhibits and activities are all free and wheelchair accessible. This annual event is organized by local residents, and is supported by local businesses and the City of Vancouver. Food vendors will be on site.
In Surrey, a “Party for the Planet” takes place on Saturday, April 26 from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. with a wide variety of events, all happening at The Plaza at New City Hall, 13450 104th Avenue.
