Canadian Environment Week 2024
Established in 1971, Canadian Environment Week celebrates Canada’s environmental accomplishments and encourages Canadians to contribute to conserving and protecting their environment.
From June 2 to June 8, 2024, join us on social media using #EnviroWeek and #GreeningOurFuture. Celebrate and safeguard our environment and take action to protect the places we love.
Some special days include:
- June 5: United Nations World Environment Day and Canada’s Clean Air Day
- June 8: United Nations World Oceans Day
Every year, Canadian Environment Week coincides with World Environment Day. This year, the United Nations theme for World Environment Day is “Generation Restoration”. It focuses on land restoration, fighting desertification and drought resilience. Canadian Environment Week expands upon this theme, celebrating all of the actions that we are taking, at home and globally, to achieve a greener future.
It is a global effort to take care of our shared planet. You can take action to protect the environment every day, even from home. Check out this Practical Guide (PDF) to learn more about how you can get involved.
Until June 8:
