Local Heroes

People from all over Ontario are acting to help our environment!

We call these people Local Heroes because of the awesome environmental work they're doing at home and in their communities.

Local Heroes are kids, teachers, and other adults you might know who act in small or big ways to help the environment. Some do little things every day like Maya, Jay, Katie and Eric. Others organize really big projects.

Take a look at some of the awesome things these Local Heroes are doing to protect our planet.
