Earth Day in Toronto is more than just a celebration, it’s a citywide invitation to reconnect with the planet and the community. 

From community cleanups to tree planting, sound baths, art-making and nature walks, this year’s Earth Day events invites Torontonians to come together in celebration and climate action. 

Here’s a look at some of the ways you can make the city greener and cleaner!

Clean Toronto Together

Every April, Toronto residents are invited to take part in a citywide effort to clean up local parks, ravines, beaches, and green spaces. Clean Toronto Together is celebrating its 20th anniversary this year and has evolved into the largest event of its kind in Canada.

This initiative brings together residents, students, businesses and city staff to help restore and protect public spaces.
