5th June: World Environment Day

Connecting People to Nature – in the city and on the land, from the poles to the equator.

Every June 5^th is observed as World Environment Day. This time, Canada is the host nation. On this day, communities and individuals around the world work to increase awareness of the importance of conserving the environment, the positive global impact of environmental regulations and controls and engage in activities that serve to educate and improve their environment locally. It grew out of the efforts of leading environmentalists who recognized the need for there to be a coordinated global focus to begin to make conserving the environment and our natural resources a priority.
