Earth Day has been celebrated on April 22 since 1970.

The 2026 Earth Day Canada theme is Conscious Consumption.  Mindful consumption encourages us to be more intentional in what we buy and use, choosing quality, durability, and value over quantity. It is about reducing our environmental impact while supporting well made products and enhancing overall well being, without suggesting we have to go without.
