With the largest civic observance in the world, Earth Day attracts over 1 billion people yearly who are dedicated to furthering climate action.
The Fernie Heritage Library are some of those people, and invite you to join in and show your love for the town you love to visit! This event will be held the day following Earth Day, Saturday 23rd.
Last year Fernie Heritage Library fulfilled their goal to build an eyesore of trash in the parking lot! It’s time to do it all again for 2022 with support from Elk Valley Wildsight, Fernie Home Hardware, Teck, Patti’s Party Rentals, and DJ Jay Ray.
How to participate in Earth Day Community Clean Up
1. Collect gloves and bags from the Library between April 19th – 23rd if needed.
2. Collect trash around our community.
3. Bring the bag of trash you collected to the Library parking lot between 11am – 4pm on Saturday April 23rd.
4. In exchange for your help you will be gifted an activity bag including seed-matching game, pea seeds, and a bee-friendly flower seedling to take home and plant.
**Please only drop trash bags collected from the community clean-up, no household/yard waste or yard waste. No trash will be collected past 4pm on Saturday, April 23rd.
