BC Transit, the BC Ministry of Environment and Environment
Canada form the BC Clean Air Day Committee. This partnership
was struck for the purpose of encouraging and supporting Clean
Air Day activities in communities across BC.
Clean Air Day
Clean Air Day is celebrated by communities across BC with
various activities. Activities include commuter challenges,
wood burning stove awareness, vehicle emissions testing, children's
programs and many more activities.
Clean Air Day Reports
Clean Air Day 2007
(334K)
Clean Air Day 2006 (509K)
Clean Air Teacher's Guide
The partners also produced a poster and Teacher's Guide for
Grade 5 teachers. The Teacher's Guide is a tool to help introduce
air quality issues into the classroom. The poster design involves
three Clean Air Heroes. Each hero has a different pollution
problem to fight with specific tools. The three environments
are: industry, urban transportation and rural neighbourhoods.
Teacher's Guide Content
Here are PDFs of each section of the Teacher's Guide. (The
entire PDF is too big to post as one piece.) If you would
like a copy of the Teacher's Guide and poster mailed to you,
please contact Allison Blythe (see below for contact information.)
