Sunoco Earth Day 2008

Earth Month is fast approaching and the Essex Region Conservation Authority (ERCA), in partnership with Earth Day Canada, and our sponsor, Sunoco and the Suncor Energy Foundation, invites everyone to come out on Sunday, April 27, 2008 10:00 am - 2:00 p.m. to help plant 1000 native trees and shrubs at Malden Park in the City of Windsor, and stay through until 4:00 pm for other exciting activities.

There will be lots to enjoy, including learning about how trees help our environment, and a barbecue. Kids can crawl in a Giant Caterpillar, participate in Nature Crafts, an inflatable soccer net, a Nature Scavenger Hunt, and try a Bald Eagle Obstacle Course to win cool nature stuff! In addition there will be more Earth Day 2008 celebrations right across Matchette Road where you can experience amazing Earth Day exhibits, fabulous environmental entertainment and much more.

You can start getting involved right now by registering at least 10 members of your business or community group for the Green Team Challenge and you'll receive a Certificate of Participation at the event! For the kids in the community we have launched an exciting Sunoco Earth Day 2008 Writing Contest titled, 'I Can Be The Change', with great prize packages to be won.
