We’re excited to invite you to be part of Clean Air Day 2026, happening on Wednesday, June 3rd! 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.
Clean air is essential to health, well-being, and cultural practices for our Indigenous communities. From land-based activities to seasonal gatherings, the quality of the air we breathe directly impacts our ways of life. Yet many Indigenous communities face ongoing challenges from nearby industry, wildfires, and lack of air quality monitoring. This gathering is a space to explore these issues, share your experience and knowledge with others, and help shape the path forward.
To make your planning easier and more impactful, we’ve created a full set of free tools and ready-to-use resources, including:
Engagement Guide — with suggestions on incorporating Indigenous teachings, community engagement ideas, and how-tos for in-person and virtual formats.
Customizable Posters & Social Media Kits — for sharing across your networks.
Event Promotion Form — so we can feature your event on our website and social media.
Planning something? Let us know so we can:
- Promote your event throughout our communications
- Help build momentum across communities
Mark your calendars for Wednesday, June 3, 2026. This virtual gathering will feature leading subject matter experts from across the country, in addition to highlighting initiatives undertaken by communities to conserve land, protect eco-systems and preserve air quality.
