Town of Tecumseh Prepares to Celebrate Earth Day

Tecumseh, ON – The Town of Tecumseh Community & Recreation Services will be hosting an Earth Day Celebration on April 22nd from 11 am-1 pm at Lakewood Park South. Join us for free eco-friendly activities and a special presentation from keynote speaker and bird of prey expert, Phil Roberts, as well as a drum performance from our friends at Caldwell First Nation.

“I invite all Tecumseh residents to come together to take steps towards a cleaner, greener future for ourselves and future generations,” said Mayor Gary McNamara. “Participating in Earth Day events can make a meaningful difference in our environment and community.”

The L’Essor’s STEAM (Entrepreneurship in Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts) Program will be unveiling bat boxes, that will be installed in our Tecumseh Parks. All events and activities are free, and no registration is necessary.

In preparation for Earth Day, the Town’s Parks staff and students from Lakeview Montessori will once again be planting 100 trees in Lakewood South’s naturalization area. The naturalization area, established in 2018, established native plants in an organic design that is left unmanicured, allowing it to mature into a naturalized woodland/wildflower area.
