World Oceans Day Events in Nova Scotia

World Oceans Day is a time to reflect upon and celebrate the beauty and importance of our oceans. 

The theme for this year’s Oceans Day is "REIMAGINE: Beyond the World We Know, A New Relationship with our Ocean." This theme is all about reimagining our relationship with the ocean. It’s a call to become guardians of the ocean’s future. 

Staff in our Maritimes Region are participating in World Oceans Day events in Nova Scotia. Attend an event near you to reimagine your relationship with the ocean!
