Celebrate Earth Day in Maple Ridge

Our 2022 theme, Pathways to a Better Normal, is designed to encourage people to take small, simple steps toward the world they want to create. We will explore pathways and invite people to journey with us into Water & Energy Conservation, Transportation, the Outdoors, and Community. See what idea jumps out at you as something you can fit into your life. Do one thing, then do another. Sometimes the array of choices or lack of direction can be overwhelming, and many people hav...e struggled through the isolation and mental stress of being in a pandemic for an extended period of time. At times we all need connection, direction, and guidance. Our goal is to help people see the path forward, the way to positive change, one small step at a time. This year, the Celebrate Earth Day Planning Committee is encouraging residents to start Pathways to a Better Normal. Depending on Public Health Orders at the time, we are hoping to hold an in-person Earth Day celebration at Memorial Peace Park from 10am 2pm on Saturday, April 23, 2022 to kick off festival season in Maple Ridge. If we are unable to hold an in-person event at that time, we will focus on activating the site and continuing with our Photo and Poetry & More Contests and any activities that can be accommodated, such as last year’s online Freecycle organized on Facebook. Updates and photos and videos from previous events are posted at www.mrearthday.ca
