National Forest Week (French: Semaine nationale de l'arbre et des forêts) (including its Wednesday, which is known as National Tree Day),[1] is a thematic week in Canada, held annually in September.[2]
The week was first known as Forest Fire Prevention Week, established in 1920. It was renamed National Forest Week in 1967 to broaden the challenges facing Canada's forests.[3][4] It was given national status through an Act of Parliament in 2011. Royal Galipeau, MP introduced a private member's motion in the House of Commons of Canada on March 2, 2011. It is co-sponsored by Tree Canada.[5]
