Invest in our Planet - Earth Day is April 22, 2022

Earth Day was first celebrated in the United States on April 22, 1970. Over the years, Earth Day in Canada has grown beyond a major day of environmental action, celebrated in many countries around the world. It also inspired organizations, such as Earth Day Canada, a charitable organization that inspires and supports citizens and organizations across the country to reduce their impact on the environment.

As a Biosphere Certified Destination, TOTA encourages and challenges residents and professionals in the region to participate on April 22 and improve sustainability throughout the year.
