Rivers to Oceans Day is an annual education blitz on everything related to water. It is hosted outside in June, at the Somba K’e Civic Plaza in Yellowknife.
There are 12 stations set up in the park with presentations and activities from organizations, universities, non-profits, and various government divisions. Students in Grades 1 and 5 rotate through the stations every few minutes for an active day of outdoor learning from community members.
This year, Rivers to Oceans Day was Wednesday, June 5th, and we had a blast. We saw over 250 students from Grades 1 and 5 engaging in excellent, water-related learning. Students heard about fish dissection, invertebrates, fish habitats, watersheds, and more!
Mahsi cho to all of our wonderful partners who made this day possible, as well as the teachers, classroom assistants, and students who brought so much joy to the park this year. Here’s to celebrating water every day!
Rivers to Oceans Day is hosted in partnership with the GNWT’s Environment and Climate Change division and Fisheries and Oceans Canada.
