Hold your breath and grab your snorkels, Victoria! 

As an island surrounded by the ocean, it only makes sense to do everything we can to keep it clean and celebrate its many beauties and mysteries!

From Friday, June 2nd to Sunday, June 11th, Ocean Week will feature a wide range of activity packed events to enjoy in Victoria. Including a bonus day of fun on Thursday, June 1st! Join for the fun and educational benefits.

Ocean Week Victoria launched in 2020 to provide support for ocean-inspired events as a way to connect and engage the community! They’re now involved with the larger national initiative, Ocean Week Canada, as well as international initiatives like UN World Ocean Day and the World Ocean Day (Ocean Project).
