Earth Day Canada Eco Kids:
- Earth Day in Canada is celebrated every year on April 22nd. Each year, Earth Day Canada organizes campaigns and provides opportunities for teachers and schools to engage students all across Canada in protecting the planet. For example, during April and May of 2014, Earth Day Canada invited students to Act for the Planet! by submitting what they were doing to protect the planet. These student submissions included drawings, photographs, essays, etc. and these students were then acknowledged on the Eco Kids website. Click here to see the results of 2014!
