This is a release from Ecology Ottawa:

In celebration of Earth Day 2023, we at Ecology Ottawa are highlighting the people, places, trees, and animals of Ottawa that inspire our communities to take action, find innovative solutions, and work together to protect our environment.

Our organization believes that environmental action is for everybody. Your nominee could be a neighbour, teacher, scientist, activist, artist, innovator, policy maker, community or religious leader, or young person. In addition to nominating community members, we call on you to nominate the places, trees, and animals of Ottawa that you cherish and need our protection.

The award categories include:

Land and Water Defender Award	Most Cherished Greenspace
Active & Accessible City Award	Most Citizen-Friendly City Space
Climate Champion Award	Most Beloved Urban Bird Species
Nature Champion Award	Most Treasured Tree Species
Refuse-Reduce-Reuse Champion Award

We call on YOU to nominate members of your community that work hard and inspire others to create change! Fill out the nomination form here. Complete your nominations by April 16 and we’ll announce the recipients the week of Earth Day.

Ecology Ottawa To Rally Against Tewin Tree-Cutting

If you are looking for other ways to get involved this Earth Day, get tickets for our film screening of Call of the Forest: The Forgotten Wisdom of Trees at the ByTowne Cinema on April 20 at 6 pm, followed by a reception. Tickets are by donation, and free tickets are available. And we’ll be lighting up the OTTAWA sign in Byward Market green on April 22 – swing by anytime and take a photo to show your Earth Day pride.

Thank you for helping us celebrate people, places, and non-human species who contribute to making Ottawa a greener, more resilient city!
