Ocean Week Canada is launching its nationwide celebration from June 1 to June 8, 2026, culminating on World Ocean Day with hundreds of events spanning from the Pacific to the Atlantic and Arctic. The initiative aims to foster a deeper connection between Canadians and the ocean through diverse activities such as science talks, shoreline cleanups, art exhibits, and film screenings. Coordinated by the Centre for Ocean Literacy Collaboration, this largest national ocean engagement event emphasizes the relevance of ocean health to all communities, including those far from the coast. Participants and media can find local events and spokespeople through the organization’s online portal and regional hubs.
