June 8th is World Oceans Day (Sister Day to Earth Day)!
Theme: Youth, the Next Wave for Change
Thankfully many in our Canadian Federal Government worked very hard to have World Oceans Day recognized by the UN. We invite you to start a tradition or join an event to celebrate and protect our oceans and waterways.
Did you know? 80% of the oxygen we breath comes from our oceans.
We need our oceans. All living creatures and vegetation needs our oceans to be healthy.
Become an OCEAN HERO, a champion of preserving our waterways and conserving water.
On the following pages you will find information about World Oceans Day Canada!
Our primary focus is to raise awareness of marine issues
affecting the Oceans of the world; disseminating information regarding
critical issues which affect marine life and conservation initiatives and
the actions we can all take to secure the health of the Oceans and conserve
water for our and future generations.
We are developing awareness informational materials and activities for use with celebrating Oceans Day in our communities, to make a difference.
As well, we are developing a model for Oceans Day celebrations at the legislatures in every provincial capital and in every community over the coming years!
