I pulled this little notice from the City of Vancouver’s Greenest City newsletter. This annual month long event is a great way to meet your neighbours and help to keep our “green city” clean. There are several other greening events listed below as well. Happy Earth Day!
Keep Vancouver Spectacular (KVS) celebrates 20 years of thousands of volunteers pitching in to keep Vancouver’s streets free of litter. This Earth Day, April 25, you too can keep Vancouver spectacular:
- Sign up to lead or join a litter pick up team
- Sign up to lead a graffiti paint-out
- Join in the 20th anniversary celebration at the Vancouver Art Gallery, 12-2pm, for music, crafts, activities, and fun for the whole family!
This year, KVS aims to reach a new milestone of 20,000 volunteers. Sign up today! On April 25 you can also celebrate Earth Day in Everett Crowley Park (11am-3pm). At the event, you can help plant 1,000 native trees to grow the urban forest. Vancouver Biennale will also be there with their I Have a Dream project, which invites the community to get involved with their global gardening and farming initiative.
The event supports several of the City’s Greenest city goals: ACCESS TO NATURE, LIGHTER FOOTPRINT, LOCAL FOOD, ZERO WASTE.
