Earth Day happened to fall on Easter Sunday this year, so FortWhyte Alive is holding their celebrations this weekend instead.
The nature destination is running a day full of family-friendly activities on Sunday that encourage outdoor recreation, green transportation, and promote actions leading to sustainable living.
WINNIPEG — CAA Manitoba and safety patrols from Clifton School spent part of Earth Day by cleaning up Omand’s Creek.

Old car batteries, used motor oil and old tires are all things many households may have laying around. And spring is the perfect time of year to get rid of them.
To coincide with Earth Day, CAA Manitoba is hosting a roundup of those materials on Sunday at FortWhyte Alive.
“The weather is warming up and for many Manitobans that means it’s time to clean out their home and garage. Recycling used automotive products and household batteries is a great way to spring clean and go green,” said Erika Miller, public and media relations specialist for CAA Manitoba.

While Winnipeg is thinking white these days — you know, with the Jets in the playoffs and everything — the Downtown Winnipeg BIZ is seeing green.
To mark Earth Day on April 22, the BIZ is enlisting the help of businesses, community members and local celebrities to pitch in with their 10th annual downtown clean-up initiative.

CAA Manitoba is rounding up used motor oil, tires and automotive batteries this weekend.
During a belated celebration of Earth Day, select CAA garages will collect the items today and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. in Winnipeg.
“When disposed improperly, automotive items like oil, tires and car batteries are extremely toxic to our environment,” said Angèle Faucher, public and government affairs specialist for CAA Manitoba. “These items can easily be recycled or reused, minimizing the impact on our ecosystems.”
