Institutions celebrate Earth Day with campus clean-ups, giveaways, showcases

To celebrate Earth Day, postsecondary institutions across the country have arranged special events and activities focused on the theme of environmental sustainability. Institutions such as Dalhousie University, Mohawk College, and the University of Waterloo are taking action on and around their campus by picking up litter or planting gardens and trees. Others—such as Collège Lionel-Groulx, Concordia University, the Justice Institute of British Columbia, and MacEwan University—are holding informative events about their sustainability efforts to date and how the campus community can contribute in the future. JIBC and Northern Lakes College are giving away flowers and seed packets.
