Clean Air Day 2024 at Norwood Community Centre
On June 5th, Green Action Centre celebrated Clean Air Day with Health Canada a the Norwood Community Centre. We were joined by 11 local organizations who provided educational and fun activities to over 200 students from Winnipeg. Clean Air Day is meant to be celebrated outside, and luckily, the expected rain held off for most of the day so our participants were able to enjoy some time outside, although the recent rains left shoes a little muddy.
Some of the activities that students enjoyed included:
- Making scrap wood birdhouses with Art City
- Creating and coloring their own local birds with CPAWS
- Learning about sustainable development goals with Manitoba Council for International corporation
- Potato sack racing with Bike Winnipeg
- Found object theater with Green Kids inc.
- Learning about animal ambassadors with Prairie Wildlife Rehabilitation Centre
- and more!
Thank you to all the organizations who participated! We could not have done it without you! Thank you to the Winnipeg Foundation for the support provided to this years event. And thank you to Health Canada for your ongoing support of this event.
We hope to see you all for Clean Air Day 2025!
