Activities are based on the Project WET Curriculum Guide, an international program which provides educators with hands-on, interactive, activities for learning about water in a variety of settings. They also have groundwater and watershed models, which show how water moves above and below the surface of the Earth.

Today marks our annual celebration of the planet we live on. But did you know that Earth Day was originally conceived by an American senator as a teach-in - a practical, participatory, action-oriented day of learning about the environment? In 1990, Earth Day went global and is celebrated in more than 175 countries each year; in 2009, the United Nations officially recognized International Mother Earth Day on this date.

Happy Canada Day! We hope you have a chance to get out and explore nature, whether it's in a national park or just in your own backyard. The diverse array of natural wonders we are so fortunate to have is one thing that makes Canada truly unique.
Before you head out to celebrate, why not share the holiday with friends and family by sending a Canada Day eCard from Nature Canada? Or, send wishes to our American neighbours for a great start to the summer over the 4th of July weekend.
