The Town of Grimsby, Ontario, marked Earth Day on April 22, 2026, by highlighting several ongoing local environmental initiatives aimed at building a healthier, more sustainable community. These efforts are supported by the Grimsby Green Advisory Committee, a group dedicated to promoting the protection and enhancement of the local environment.

To help residents participate in greening their own neighbourhoods, the town is hosting a free tree giveaway during Community Safety Day on May 9, 2026, at Southward Park. The event will provide 150 smaller trees on a first-come, first-served basis, alongside a supply of larger trees available for those who pre-register.

The town has released various environmental project updates to provide a transparent way to track progress on environmental actions. These efforts build on a track record of planting thousands of trees since 2019 in partnership with organizations like the Niagara Peninsula Conservation Authority.

Community involvement remains a focus for environmental progress in Grimsby. On April 25, 2026, local community groups teamed up to host a community cleanup at Casablanca Waterfront Park and along Forty Mile Creek.
