The IRERI-Mexican, Latino & Cross-Cultural Society is hosting Ocean Week at the High River Library on June 6 from noon to 4 p.m., an event supported by an Ocean Week Canada Grant. This binational festival celebrates the connection between Canadian and Mexican naval forces while emphasizing the importance of water conservation, river wildlife, and marine ecosystems. Attendees can participate in children’s crafts, storytelling, and a Mexican folkloric dance presentation, while learning about migratory species and the impact of human activity on oceans. The event also provides an opportunity for the immigrant community to share cultural perspectives on the sea and to sign a petition protecting threatened natural areas in Mexico.
