Clean Air Day in Canada is an annual event held on the first Wednesday of June to raise awareness about the importance of clean air and the impact of air pollution. It is part of Canadian Environment Week and encourages individuals, communities, and organizations to take action to improve air quality. 

Purpose and Activities:

• Raising Awareness:

Clean Air Day aims to educate the public about the health and environmental consequences of air pollution, including respiratory illnesses, cardiovascular problems, and damage to ecosystems. 

• Promoting Action:

The day encourages individuals to make sustainable choices, such as using public transportation, walking, biking, or reducing reliance on private vehicles. 

• Celebrating Successes:

It also celebrates the efforts of organizations and individuals who are working to improve air quality. 

• Local Events:

Communities, schools, and workplaces often host events and activities to promote Clean Air Day, such as workshops, demonstrations, and clean-up initiatives. 

History:

Clean Air Day was first celebrated in Canada in 1999, when the Government of Canada declared clean air a federal priority. 

Impact of Air Pollution:

• Air pollution is a significant environmental risk, contributing to thousands of deaths annually in Canada. 
• It can negatively impact human health, especially for vulnerable populations like children, the elderly, and those with respiratory conditions. 
• Air pollution also contributes to climate change through the emission of greenhouse gases.
