    Town of Collingwood Celebrates Earth Day with a Series of Eco-Events throughout April

    Date:

    Sharing is SO MUCH APPRECIATED!

    Collingwood, ON [04 April 2025] – The Town of Collingwood is excited to announce a series of events to celebrate Earth Day and raise awareness about sustainability and environmental stewardship. The community is invited to participate in a variety of activities that promote positive change and environmental responsibility.

    Be the Change Series – Screening of ‘Going Circular’
    Wednesday April, 16th 7:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m.
    Simcoe Street Theatre

    Be The Change Film Series (BTC) is pleased to present Going Circular on Wednesday April 16, 2025; 7:00 p.m. at the Simcoe Street Theatre. The Collingwood Climate Action Team worked with BTC to bring this solution focused film in time for Earth Day 2025. Going Circular imagines a future where we mimic the genius of nature – to re-calibrate the way humankind lives, breathes, and builds – respecting the limits of our resources and transforming the modern world. Going Circular unlocks the secrets to circularity, an innovative concept that could save our collective future on Earth. Sometimes the best solutions come from surprising places.

    Join Staff, Council, and the Community as we celebrate this meaningful moment and reflect on the importance of protecting our planet.
