The District of Saanich is hosting an Earth Day Festival to celebrate sustainability in our community next week.
This year’s theme, ‘Reuse, Share, Repair,’ focuses on simple ways we can divert waste from the landfill—by finding new ways to reuse things, sharing with neighbours, and repairing whenever possible.
From 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturday, April 18th, attendees can enjoy live music, a vendor village, and food trucks including Greek n’ Go and Aerobic Geisha Coffee, featuring plant-based menus.
There will also be free activities like a children’s bike obstacle course at the Saanich municipal hall parking lot, just off the Lochside Regional Trail.
Live music will feature emerging local artist Steph Macpherson, acoustic stringband Long Gone Trio, Vancouver-based artist Matthew Presidente and local singer-songwriter Kele Fleming, along with a poetry reading by Jesse Holth.
Visitors can also explore interactive information booths from partner organizations like BC Hydro, Capital Bike and Electrom LEV and many more.
Plus, say hello to Curby, the little sweeper, who will be clearing bike lanes during the event.
With limited vehicle parking, attendees are encouraged to take the 70, 71, 72 or 75 bus—all of which stop just outside the Saanich municipal hall—or bike in and take advantage of the free bike valet located just off the Lochside Regional Trail.
Bring your friends, your family or your bike and head to Saanich municipal hall on April 18th for a day of music, activities and sustainable inspiration.
