Ocean Week Canada

A public celebration of the ocean from coast to coast to coast, June 1-8

Ocean Week Canada

June 1-8

Ocean Week Canada is an annual national celebration of ocean events, learning, and engagement held during the week of World Ocean Day (June 8). Through these events and learning activities, we recognize the important role the ocean plays in our everyday lives and how local waterways connect us all with the ocean. Help us raise public awareness and celebrate this connection to coastal areas, the ocean, and watersheds in Canada.

Together, we can inspire action to ensure a healthy ocean for future generations.
