Residents in Sarnia are invited to participate in two upcoming events this April as part of Earth Month, organized by Climate Action Sarnia-Lambton.
Following a successful inaugural event last year that drew nearly 100 participants, the advocacy group has doubled its programming for 2026. This year’s events follow the theme, our planet, our power, which focuses on celebrating community environmental successes and encouraging continued local action.
The first gathering is a speaker series taking place on April 9 from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. at the Lochiel Kiwanis Community Centre. The session will highlight progress toward sustainability, covering topics such as the advancement of clean, renewable energy, carbon-reduction techniques in food production, and the use of agrivoltaics in farming.
On April 18, a family-friendly open house will be held at the Sarnia Public Library from 2:30 p.m. to 5 p.m. Attendees can take part in activities like seed planting and crafts, while also exploring a showcase on wildlife conservation. Representatives from the nuSarnia Foundation, Great Lakes Refill, and Lambton Wildlife Inc. are scheduled to speak about their respective organizational achievements.
Climate Action Sarnia-Lambton describes itself as a collective of professionals, students, activists, and nature lovers who advocate for sustainable energy and the protection of water and natural environments. In addition to these upcoming gatherings, the group has hosted regular climate cafes over the past year to help residents learn about and discuss eco-friendly practices.
