More than one million Canadians will be involved in transforming 10,000 hectares of degraded urban environments into dynamic natural spaces. Appreciate the wonders of the environment at the Bayer Environmental Science Centre in Sarnia, Ontario. This one-time industrial area will be transformed into a focal point for environmental study with gathering and teaching areas providing learning opportunities in a natural setting. The eight-acre park will feature the creation of a native forest, various ecosystems, and an interpretative model of the Great Lakes. Respect for nature and the traditional way of life is the theme of The Secwepemc Ethnobotanical Garden and Native Heritage Park in Kamloops, British Columbia.
Wetlands are one of the determinants of our planet's health.
This major scientific, educational and cultural event will provide opportunities for Canada to promote its environmental and economic priorities, and place the wise use of wetlands on the international agenda. The choices we make today will affect the quality of life for future generations. To demonstrate this, the Falls Brook Centre in New Brunswick is undertaking the Community Protection and Preservation of the Environment project.
