As the demand for environmental action grows louder, communities both around the world and here at home are answering the call.
In Esquimalt, the Township’s Parks & Recreation staff invite the community to the annual Earth Day Celebration at Highrock Cairn Park – a time to learn, to celebrate and to take action in support of the local environment.
Raising awareness and building community
From 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. April 17, residents of all ages are invited to come together and participate in a day of environmental stewardship and community-building.
