The Invasive Species Centre and our partners lead this annual campaign in Canada to help raise awareness about the threat that invasive species pose to our natural heritage. Each year, many organizations support Invasive Species Awareness Week to make it a huge success.  

Thank you for taking part in Invasive Species Awareness Week and everything you do to protect the land and water from invasive species!
