Grab your curiosity and come explore the Assiniboine River with us through hands-on water testing right from the riverbank.

Join us for hands-on water quality testing along the Assiniboine River 🌊💧

Come kick off Ocean Week Canada with your boots on the ground and your hands in the water! We’re heading out for a guided river walk along the Assiniboine River, where you’ll test the water quality using Water Rangers community science kits, learn how to measure key water quality indicators, and help build a real-time snapshot of river health.

This event is open to conference attendees and the public alike, bringing together people from near and far who care about water bodies. And while the Assiniboine might feel far from the ocean, it’s more connected than you think! What happens upstream flows far beyond what we can see, and that’s exactly the kind of story Ocean Week is here to tell.

No experience needed! We’ll guide you through every step.
