Did you know that June 5 was World Environment Day? This day, designated by the United Nations in 1972, was appointed to encourage positive, proactive action for the environment and to empower people in the protection of their natural surroundings.
In concert, Canada declared June 5 to 11, the 40th annual Canadian Environment Week. Since 2011 has been named the International Year of Forests by the UN, the theme for Canadian Environment Week this year is “Preserving our Forests, Protecting our Future”.
