• 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
