April 22, 2020 is Earth Day. In recognition of our shared connection to the lands and water, and as stewards of the land, the Territorial Planning Unit is looking to sponsor an Earth Day Competition. The Territorial Planning Unit has been busy in the development of our climate change programs, working on waste diversion measures, shoreline clean ups, the Teaching Our Keepers program and youth climate strategies. The competition will build off these programs and engage Treaty #3 youth aged 12-19 in cleaning up and caring for Mother Earth. Participants can enter the contest by posting before and after photos of an area in their community that they have cleaned up.

The following prizes are available to participants:

• 1^st place: choice of an Xbox One or PlayStation 4.
• 2^nd place: the remaining choice of console.
• 3^rd, 4^th and 5^th place: $100 Prepaid Visas.

To enter:

1. Be a Treaty #3 youth aged 12-19
2. Clean up an area in your community
3. Post or email before and after photos using #Treaty3formotherearth

Submissions will be accepted via Instagram or email. Contestants can enter by using the hashtag #Treaty3formotherearth in their before and after photos or by emailing directly to Geneva.Kejick@treaty3.ca.

Deadline for submissions is Sunday, April 26 with the winners to be announced Monday, April 27.
