We’re excited for you to be part of Clean Air Day 2025, happening on Wednesday, June 4th! This national day is more than a celebration—it’s a call to action to protect the air we all breathe and uplift the knowledge, leadership, and traditions that guide us toward environmental and community health.

This year, we are especially focused on supporting community-led, youth-driven, and Indigenous-informed events that speak to the deep connections between air, land, culture, and health.

This event is designed to bring together Indigenous youth (under 30 years old) from across the country to learn, share, and lead conversations about the importance of clean air for our communities, cultures, and future generations.

All youth will receive a $50 honoraria. Door prizes also available!

Clean air is essential to health, well-being, and cultural practices in Indigenous communities. From land-based activities to seasonal gatherings, the quality of the air we breathe shapes our ways of life. However, many Indigenous communities continue to face air quality challenges due to industry, wildfires, and limited monitoring.

This youth-led circle offers a space for Indigenous youth to:

Share lived experiences related to clean air and environmental justice

Connect through stories, breakout groups, and art-based activities

Learn from peers and Elders

Explore collective pathways forward

This is an opportunity for Indigenous youth to connect with peers from across the country, build knowledge around air and environmental justice, and make their voices heard.

Let’s work together to make Clean Air Day 2025 the most powerful, inclusive, and inspiring yet. Your voice, your traditions, and your leadership are essential to creating a future with clean air for all.

Thank you for your commitment and collaboration. We look forward to celebrating with you on June 4th!
