It’s Earth Day across the world and Calgarians have many chances to go green today.

The Calgary Zoo is launching their Get To Know your Wild Neighbours contest to coincide with the nationally recognized day in helping youth recognize the importance of Earth Day.

“The attitudes about nature and appreciation for animals that we foster in our children now, will determine the future for wildlife and our planet,” Calgary Zoo CEO and president Clement Lanthier said.
Brandi Chuchman of the City of Calgary said you can also carry your Earth Day over to the weekend and families can celebrate together at the Telus World of Science.

“It’s a chance for people of all ages to come and find out how the world is so beautiful and learn how to create sustainability,” she said of the all day event.

The City of Calgary is also hosting several events. More information can be found at calgary.ca/footprint.
