Celebrated
April 22, Earth Day is the largest, most celebrated environmental event worldwide.
More than 6 million Canadians join 500 million people in
over 180 countries in staging events and projects to address local environmental issues.
Nearly every school child in Canada takes part in an Earth Day activity.
Environmental challenges abound as our daily actions
pollute and degrade the fragile environment that humans and wildlife depend on to survive.
What can we do?
Earth Day provides the opportunity for positive actions
and results. Be part of the many events happening in your area. |

Earth Run Foundation: Earth Run - Toronto
Exhibition Place, Princess Blvd.
The Earth Run Foundation is a charitable organization with a mandate to bring people
together toward building a sustainable future. This is our first 5km Earth Run/Walk to
help raise awareness and support for local environmental initiatives that improve
people’s quality of life. Most running events generate huge amounts of waste and are
not environmentally friendly. Earth Run is leading the way and has eliminated typical run
practices to reduce waste and our carbon footprint. Working with Athletes for a Fit
Planet, Earth Run uses the CRS (Council for Responsible Sport) standards as a guide to
ensure minimal impact. The benefiting Canadian partners are the David Suzuki Foundation
and Evergreen. All participants will receive FREE ADMISSION to the Green Living Show.
