Book the Map

Did you know all waterways are connected? There’s nothing like following the flow to wrap your head around this incredible fact! The Ocean, Freshwater, and Us map was developed as a learning and engagement tool for schools, libraries, museums, aquariums, conferences, and other public spaces and events to use during the Ocean Week Canada celebrations and throughout the UN Ocean Decade (2021-2030).

This giant floor map is available in three sizes: 1. Standard (11m x 8m) 2. Class room (8m x 6m) and 3. Mini (5.25m x 4m). It is made for walking on, allowing users to understand the ocean and waterways by physically experiencing them! Augmented Reality, 360 video, and other interactive activities will help bring this giant map to life!

Copies of the Ocean, Freshwater, and Us, a map dedicated to organizations for use at public events, are travelling across the country.
