Green thumbs from around the region will have the chance to celebrate their love of nature during the City and County of Grande Prairie’s Earth Day festivities on April 26th.
The family-friendly event will feature several interactive exhibits, educational opportunities, and activities for all ages.
Grande Prairie Mayor Jackie Clayton and County Reeve Bob Marshall encourage everyone to participate.
“Earth Day is a powerful reminder that small everyday choices can lead to a more sustainable future,” Clayton says. “We encourage everyone to participate in our Earth Day event, featuring a variety of sustainable programs and initiatives,” Reeve Marshall adds.
Activities include a live hive experience to offer a close-up look at the role of pollinators, a GP Grows Seed Bar where residents can choose from more than a dozen seed varieties, the “Electric Avenue” to showcase electric vehicles, and several other hands-on activities like cookie decorating and face painting.
In an effort to encourage sustainable transportation, the City will also be offering complimentary city-wide transit throughout the day.
The festivities are scheduled for April 26th, from noon to 4:00 p.m. at the Montrose Cultural Centre in Teresa Sargent Hall.
