Celebrate Earth Day at the 2013 North Grenville Sustainability Fair on Sunday, April 28th.
Mark your calendars for the North Grenville Sustainability Fair to be held at the North Grenville Municipal Centre on April 28th from 11am -3pm.
The North Grenville Sustainability Fair, held to celebrate Earth Day, is a free family-oriented event that features local businesses and organizations that promote sustainable living, products and services. Kids can enjoy themselves with earth-friendly art and building activities. From energy efficiency to energy generation, local foods to waste reduction, horticulture to recreation; there’s something for everyone at the “North Grenville Sustainability Fair!”
PLUS! Round off the day with percussion professionals “Junkyard Symphony” performing their “Eco-Circus” at 3pm in the Municipal Theatre.
Share your ideas and inspire others: If your family, community group, church group, youth group, school Green team or just you and a bunch of your friends have a sustainable activity that you would like to share with the community WE WANT TO KNOW! Sustainability is… bringing the lessons of the past and the needs of the future into the actions of the present.
Look forward to coming to the North Grenville Sustainability Fair, Sunday, April 28th from 11-3 at the NGMC.
