Together for the Love of Creation Earth Week 2026

We, humans, are but one strand in a web of life, and only one being among many relations. The land and waters are not resources to be exhausted. We need to be leaders that seek balance, repair relations and live with respect in creation today and for seven generations.   
—The Right Rev. Dr. Kimberly Heath, Moderator 

During Earth Week 2026, The United Church of Canada is joining with numerous denominations and faith-based organizations under one banner, Together for the Love of Creation.  

Communities of faith, networks, and regions are invited to initiate and participate in climate justice events during the week of April 19–26. Together with fellow members of the national For the Love of Creation effort, this is a great opportunity to show leadership.  

It starts with three simple steps. We pray to connect with God and God’s Creation. We learn about the realities and solutions to climate change. And we act— showing leadership for climate justice in our communities, and bringing a clear call for leadership to our Members of Parliament.

New for Earth Week 2026
