Canyon Day is a free community celebration that focuses on outreach, education and awareness around the issues of conservation of the environment and preservation of Tecolote Canyon. Canyon Day is made possible through the efforts of the students and faculty of Mesa College, community partners, and especially our fantastic volunteers!
