#Toronto - #EarthMonth 2026
All of April 2026
Free & Low-Cost Programming | Most Events Free
"What is Earth Month at the Brick Works?
For over 15 years, #EvergreenBrickWorks has been Toronto’s demonstration hub for sustainability: a repurposed historic site that proves what’s possible when we reimagine public space for people and planet. Every April, we open our doors to a whole month of programming in celebration of that.
Earth Month at the Brick Works brings together community organizations, environmental educators, artists, local vendors and Torontonians interested in exploring the things that matter:
How do we live more sustainably? How do we create less waste? How do we reconnect with the natural world right here in the city?"

From traffic channels to
"replacing them with shared surfaces, lower speeds, an ecological layer, and spatial ambiguity."Shared public spaces
"are expected to accommodate not only movement and encounter but also water infiltration, carbon sequestration, shade, biodiversity, and multispecies migration, while remaining safe and efficient conduits for people and infrastructure above and below ground.""Personal transportation is a primary driver of urban sprawl and the proliferation of intercity highways."
