National Forest Week Flag Raising Ceremony
Description
Join us on Monday, September 18, 2023, at 2:00 PM as we celebrate National Forest Week with a special flag raising ceremony in Saskatoon! This year's theme is Canada's Forests: Supporting Biological Diversity, and we're excited to honour the 191 hectares of afforestation in Saskatoon, including the Richard St. Barbe Baker Afforestation Area and the George Genereux Urban Regional Park.
As Saskatoon's pioneering efforts into afforestation are now recognized internationally as an important nature-based solution to tackle the twin crises of climate change and biodiversity loss, we are thrilled to be hosting this event in partnership with Friends of the Saskatoon Afforestation Areas Inc., a non-profit environmental charity.
The flag raising ceremony will be a solemn occasion where we will pay tribute to the remarkable achievements of Saskatoon in this regard. We invite you to join us as we raise the flag and celebrate the role that Canada's forests play in supporting biodiversity.
This event is open to all, and we look forward to seeing you there!
Location City of Saskatoon Civic Square. 202 4th Ave N, Saskatoon, SK S7K 0K1
