False Creek is ALIVE!

Ocean Week Vancouver


June 8th 10:00 AM - 5:00 PM
Vancouver, British Columbia

False Creek Friends invites you to Leg-in-Boot Square on World Ocean Day, June 8, 2025. Music and treats! Join and meet with other environmental organizations and help us imagine a new False Creek into existence!

Imagine the web of waterborne traffic that connects Science World to Granville Island to Sen̓áḵw to David Lam Park to the Aquatic Centre to the Marine Museum. All gliding over waters alive with natural life.

Imagine water so clean that kids can jump off any old boat or platform for a swim, so clean that wild creatures of the Pacific can come downtown to see the bright lights. So pure that sealife can be harvested and consumed along its shoreline.

Imagine clam gardens sprouting up, following the ancient wisdom of First Nations innovators, and elementary school kids in their rubber boots among the wonders of marine life.

Imagine rustic but environmentally pristine facilities for humans and other animals, with (for the humans) music and shopping and showers and food and drink.

Imagine a guided historical tour available on the devices in everyone’s pocket, or from docents who’ll paddle while they storytell.

Imagine public artworks meeting the eye in every direction, water buskers drifting and singing, dancing lights at night.

Imagine a busy water’s edge, a ninth-grade science project here, an introduction to indigenous culture there, and a dance lesson around the next curve of the seawall.

Imagine events: Dragon Boat races, maritime lantern processions, floating fire exhibits,
weddings, concerts, martial arts, barbecues, yoga.

Imagine a watery space cluttered with joy and full of surprises. Join us World Ocean Day, June 8, 2025
