The Dauphin Active Living Centre is hosting an event this afternoon which is being put on by the Parkland Chapter of the Citizen’s Climate Lobby.
The event will run from 12pm-2pm and all are invited.
*With the event being held at the Active Living Centre proof of vaccination and masks are required.*
During the event, there'll be an E-Bike on-site so residents can take a look and learn about them as well as a fun activity for all ages where everyone is invited to bring their empty 2L pop bottles to make micro gardens.
Esther Fyk is a member of the Parkland Chapter and said Earth Day has a very special meaning.
Earth Day is a time when we can think about our relationship with the Earth and how we are interconnected with everything. So without soil we can't live, without water we can't live and without clean air we can't live. We are all interconnected and we need to be cognisant of that all the time and Earth Day is a reminder where we can celebrate this.
There's also a photo contest being put on by the Citizen's Climate Lobby in coordination with the event for Earth Day where residents can take before and after pictures of an area that they're going to be cleaning up for Earth Day and then submit them to the CCL with winners being picked on Sunday April 24.
