Amazing Green Race
May 25 @ 10:00 am - 4:00 pm
The Amazing Green Race is a full day, outdoor event, where Peel youth in high school up to age 30, spend the day completing various environmental challenges throughout Mississauga, exploring forms of sustainable transportation and learning about climate action in the community. The race will be hosted on Saturday, May 25th from 10am-4pm and hosted by Peel Environmental Youth Alliance.
How does it work?
Climate-focused challenges will be stationed across south Mississauga, led by various community organizations and volunteers. Teams of 3-5 youth will tackle these challenges, using customized maps to walk, roll, or use public transit between checkpoints. Cycling, rollerblades, skateboards and scooters are all permitted – but no cars! Groups will be given clues and tools to complete the environmental activities, getting their eco-passports stamped with each task completion. The race checkpoints are to be determined! They will be spread across South Mississauga. Teams will race to the finish line for the final challenge and closing ceremonies, where they can enjoy lunch and refreshments, learn about local organizations, and hang out with their peers!
The 2024 Amazing Green Race is generously supported by the Climate Impact Fund and the Peterborough KM Hunter Foundation.
