- Light It Up: Change exterior and interior light bulbs to blue (use blue bulbs, colour-changing bulbs, or bulbs painted blue), and/or project ocean-themed images onto the sides of your building
- Make It an Event: Consider making your building lighting a special event and invite local media to spread the word further.
- Show Your Support: Share your blue-lit photos on social media with the hashtag #BlueForTheOcean to join the national movement
- Wear Blue: Encourage everyone—family, friends, coworkers, and staff—o wear blue apparel such as ties, scarves, shirts, or Ocean Week Canada merch on June 8th
- Engage the Community: Invite local environmental groups to connect your community with the water, speak about the importance of the ocean and local waterways, and actions we can take to protect them
Together, let’s paint our communities blue to show our commitment to the ocean. Light up, dress up, and speak up for the ocean this World Ocean Day!
