Pollinator Week (June 22 to 28, 2026) is an annual event celebrated across the world in support of pollinator health. A pollinator is anything that transports pollen grains from one flower to another; this includes bees, birds, bats, butterflies, moths, flies, wasps, and beetles. Pollinators help create healthy ecosystems. 

Take a photo of a pollinator at work! The winner will receive a pollinator prize pack for their garden and will have their photo featured on social media and the City’s website.
