As April arrives in Grande Prairie, the snow finally retreats, revealing the vibrant green spaces that make our city so special. This month also brings a global focus on environmental awareness with Earth Day. Whether you're a long-time resident or new to the area, participating in local Earth Day activities and adopting sustainable habits at home are great ways to connect with the community and protect our beautiful northern landscape.

Celebrate Earth Day with the Community

This year, the City and County of Grande Prairie are teaming up for a fantastic, family-friendly Earth Day celebration. Mark your calendars for Saturday, April 25th, from noon to 4:00 p.m. at the Bowes at Bonnetts Energy Centre. This free event is a perfect opportunity to learn about sustainability while having a great time.

"Earth Day is a chance for all of us to celebrate the ways we can care for and enhance the place we call home. From growing your own garden to learning about local initiatives, this event brings people together to explore practical ways to make a positive impact." – Mayor Jackie Clayton

Activities for Everyone

The event features hands-on activities that highlight how small actions make a big difference. You can plant a small pollinator garden to take home, explore a live beehive to understand the importance of pollinators, and even check out electric vehicles like the city's electric bus. Plus, to make attending easy and eco-friendly, the City of Grande Prairie is offering free city-wide transit on April 25th!

Sustainable Living in Your Rental Home

Celebrating Earth Day isn't just about attending events; it's about the choices we make every day. If you're renting in Grande Prairie, there are plenty of simple ways to embrace a more sustainable lifestyle:
