Earth Day (April 22, 2022)

Whereas Earth Day is celebrated on April 22 each year, and is a key time to unite our community and make a positive impact on the environment; and

Whereas the theme for Earth Day 2022 is “Invest in Our Planet”; and

Whereas Earth Day is known as the movement to change the business climate, political climate, and how we take action on climate change; and

Whereas climate change is being observed and experienced at an increasingly local level and needs to be taken seriously; and

Whereas local levels of government are finding themselves at the frontline of the battle against climate change; and

Whereas the mounting environmental challenges that we are facing, will require our towns and cities to take a leading role in the fight for a more sustainable world; and

Whereas the Town of Arnprior is a registered municipal partner with Earthday.ca; and

Whereas the Town of Arnprior will be participating in Earth Day, through the planting of 100 trees in Fall of 2022 in our municipality.  

Whereas the Town of Arnprior is partnering with the Township of McNab/Braeside to host an Earth Day Errand Cycle on April 22, 2022 at 1:00 pm.

Now Therefore, I Walter Stack Mayor of Arnprior, do hereby proclaim April 22, 2022 as Earth Day in the Town of Arnprior, and encourage all residents to learn more and understand their role in helping to combat climate change and make a positive impact on the environment on Earth Day and every day.

Walter Stack, Mayor
