Canada's Green Events Calendar

The Planetfriendly is the largest and longest running calendar of green/environmental events in Canada. Over 1,500 eco-events, courses and conferences in Canada are posted each year. The calendar can be viewed at Planetfriendly.net, the Canadian Environmental Network and affiliate sites. 

Use the calendar to:

• Find eco-events, films, workshops, courses, conferences, festivals and activities
  
• Search by theme, province or location
• Check back weekly (many events are posted on short notice)
• Make the leap from participant, to volunteer, to organizer
• Promote your own event, and plan ahead to avoid date conflicts
• Find your niche and make a difference!

When's the best time to post an event? Now. The sooner you post, the more people will hear about your event. It will stay on the Calendar until the date of the event. Last-minute postings are also welcome.

What if the details aren't yet finalized? No need to wait until you have all the details. As long as the date of the event is at least reasonably firm, you could post a brief listing now and include a link to your own site where people can find more details and updates.

Other questions? If you have any questions, please contact the editor. Or go ahead and post it now – you can include any questions in the comments section. Each posting is reviewed by an editor before being published.

Background

The Calendar began in 1998 as the People- and Planet-Friendly Events, a weekly e-mail bulletin of green, environmental and sustainable events. By 2001 it had thousands of subscribers, and in 2002 the web calendar was launched. In 2008 the Calendar was greatly expanded and improved. In 2010 the Canadian Environmental Network became a partner organization.

The calendar is a place where groups and organizations from across Canada can publicize their events free of charge. It used by a broad community of individuals, organizations and journalists from across Canada. The focus of the calendar is environment, conservation, sustainability and related themes. For example: Climate Change, Conservation, Ecotourism, Environmental Education, Green Building, Green Business, Renewable Energy, Sustainable Agriculture, Sustainable Forestry, Sustainable Transportation, Waste Reduction & Recycling, Water Pollution, Wilderness and Wildlife Conservation.

The Calendar is a free service offered for the benefit of all Canadians. Please join with other green-minded Canadians helping build a healthier, more sustainable world!
